I don't know who uses FreeDinkedit other than yeoldetoast or SlipDink.
As I'm sure many of you members of the DN who "know" me realize, I'm a Linux user. For some time (as I'm sure many of you know), the only way to edit certain Dink related files on Linux was to use FreeDinkEdit. So, RangerLord can certainly be forgiven in asserting that I am a user of FreeDinkEdit (on Linux or any other platform).
Actually, though I started out using FreeDinkEdit, I quickly gave it up. Next I used WinDinkEditPlus2 on WinMe Windoze (on my dual booting desktop, where for every other purpose, I ran Linux).
Later, I switched to using WinDinkEditPlus2 on Wine(*) from WineHQ on my Linux partition. I strongly recommend it for any other Linux user.
In fact, I'd be happy to help anyone get started in using WINE to run WinDinkEditPlus2 on Linux. I'd say it's definitely worth the disk space and (surprisingly minor) processing overhead. It allows you to be free from Microsoft and still run much in the way of Windoze compatible software.
(*)Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD.
