The Dink Network

I'm an American, disabled and retired early, living in Mexico. I'm not the only Dinker here, though, because I've lived with an indigenous Huichol family as my houseguests for the past eight years, and the two boys love Dink! Even though they can't read any of the text. Their baby sister will probably develop her own Dink fanatacism - given time. They love Dink, even if all they can do is roam around splatting monsters. I have to keep the more lewd stuff out of their reach, though.

I have been searching for Dink v.1.08, because I'm dying to play Dan Walma's new DMOD, Cast Awakening Part 1: Initiation. He makes such wonderful stuff! After installing, I tried to play it and it said it only works with Dink v. 1.08 or higher. Is there a higher one? From what I can find, v.1.08 is a beta, and I though betas are only for pros, to help other pros troubleshoot bugs.

I did find links, through this forum, to the file and its patch, but none of the links work. Got a 404 message. Everywhere I go I get a dead end.

Does anyone know where these two files can be downloaded? The rsoft page refers you to Download.com and About.com - they only have v.1.06.

I thought there were two official versions of Dink, and the second one was only for people using WinXP. I use 98SE, so I never downloaded it. Is that the same as the 1.08? And, if 1.08 is a beta, and I install it over my old Dink 1.06, what might happen? Might it affect other DMODs badly that were made to work with 1.06?

Thanks to any who help this lost waif.
