The Dink Network

@twp:

I develop and test all my dmods using Linux (freedink) version of Dink/Dfarc 1.096.

Years ago, I did it under Fedora. Nowadays I use Ubuntu 22.04.

I am puzzled by the error you are getting.

#1 Is this your first dmod that you installed after playing the original Dink Smallwood Adventure?
#2 How do your directories differ from this?

my-login@host-computer:~$ ls -l `which dfarc` /usr/share/games/dink/dink ~/dmods
