Hello there. Please help!
I have no idea how to use dfarc.zip. I downloaded it to the Dink Smallwood folder, then downloaded a Dmod to a folder within the D S folder. I tried to run the Dmod with Front End but the following message came up : 'Game dir "agae" not found'. I then then put the dmod in the D S folder and tried to run it with front end but the name didn't even show up in the drop down list. I thought it may have something to do with the dfarc.zip program. Does it? Or does dfarc only compress the dmods, and has nothing to do with running them?
Man i suck with computers I have a whole year off before i go to uni and am looking forward to wasting away the days playing dink. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers, Rosie

Mmmm, pizza. 
When you've downloaded dfarc.zip, extract it using winzip, or any other compression program, to a directory of your choice. Then you must run the installer DFArc15-Install.exe. Follow the installing-instructions, and select "yes" when asked to associate .dmod file with DFArc.

Now when you've downloaded a .dmod file. Double click to open it. DFArc will extract the file in a subdirectory of the DS-folder.
