Variations Service (Basic) Directions
</h2>
<hr>
<p> <b> Alpha! </b> Variations for the current stable version
are available from the main
<a href="var/mnvm0159.html">Mini vMac Variations Service</a>
page.
For more information about the Alpha, see the
<a href="alpha.html">Mini vMac 37</a> download page.
</p>
<p> Mini vMac has no preference settings, which helps to keep
it small, simple, and reliable. Instead, options can be chosen
at compile time. You can compile a variation of Mini vMac
with options you desire following the instructions on the
<a href="build.html">Build</a>
page. </p>
<p> Or, I can compile variations for you. <p>
<p>
With a
<a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/wishlist/index.html">donation to the Gryphel Project</a>
of ten dollars or more, you will receive a
“<a href="sp_code.html">Sponsor Code</a>”
that can be used to request custom variations, as many as you
could reasonably want for a period of a year. You
can make as many copies of these variations as you want,
and give them to anyone, under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
</p>
<p>
Without a Sponsor Code, you can request Demo versions, that
are identical to the regular version,
except that the word “Demo” floats around the emulated
screen.

<h4> Directions </h4>
<p> Select the options you desire from the
<a href="a_var.html">Mini vMac *<i>Alpha</i>* Variations Service (Basic)</a>
page, including your Sponsor Code if you have one, then
press the “Make custom variation” button at top. (The
link in each option’s name leads to documentation for
that option.)
</p>
<p>
In around 5 seconds, a page will appear with a download link.
Click on the link to download your compiled variation. (You should
probably also save the page, to record the options chosen
and other details.) You can also verify md5 checksum
and message signature displayed on the page.
</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, the Variation Server has been double checking,
by compiling the variation a second time. If you reload
the page with your web browser (another 5 seconds or so
after the page first appears), a line at the bottom that
said “Preliminary Result” should change to
“Final Result (both compiles match)”. Otherwise,
an error will be displayed.
</p>
<p>
To prevent taking too much space on my hosting provider’s
computers, older custom variations will eventually be removed.
So please download your variation promptly.
</p>
<p> After you download the variation,
extract the application from the archive, and place the
appropriate ROM image file into the same folder,
just as is done for the standard compile of Mini vMac.
Mini vMac does not create preference files or change registry settings
or make any other changes to your computer. So there is no problem in
having multiple variations of Mini vMac installed.
</p>
</p>
The Basic Variations Service offers only a
few options. Many more options can be accessed through the
<a href="a_vara.html">Advanced Variations Service</a>.
For updating an existing variation, either to change some options
or to use the same options in a newer version of Mini vMac,
there is also the
<a href="a_vart.html">Text Based Variations Service</a>.
