Hi guys.

I've finished most of my engine tweaking for Dink Smallwood v1.08, and I'm releasing the first alpha now.

My purpose in releasing this is to determine if it works. If it doesn't run for you at all, I know that I have further adventures in problem solving ahead of me.

Just extract the contents of the zip file in your Dink Smallwood directory, and I would like you to run all three files:

1) dink108.exe
2) dink108_truecolor.bat
3) dink108_window.bat

So, for every person that downloads this, I would appreciate a short message with what worked and what didn't. Just starting up a new game of Dink and walking around would be sufficient, but if you want to do more extensive testing with D-Mods you're welcome to.

Future releases will explain the new features and tweaks.

This executable has NOT been extensively tested, and may freeze, lockup, or crash your computer.

Download it now!

Fixes thus far:

* Alpha 2 works in normal 256-color mode.
* Alpha 3 runs much faster.
* Alpha 3 fixes loading screen issues.
* Alpha 4 fixes location-pointer on map screen.
* Alpha 4 fixes some graphics not appearing.
* Alpha 5 fixed 're-count' gold bug on fade up.

Known bugs:

* Initiation: Blackjack game in casino doesn't work (but will with modifications).
* Outlander demo: Does not fade up after you go to hell (due to bug in Outlander script, v1.08 acting correctly).
