Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm touching on a sensitive issue here -- what exactly is the status of the planned Linux port of Dink Smallwood? Over the last few days (weeks?), I've been looking all over the internet, and I can't find anything. There is "GNU FreeDink", which doesn't seem to have been updated since December 2003. There is also another project, "Windemere", which looks like it was last updated in December 2004 (and http://dink.sourceforge.net/ doesn't even load).
It is my impression that neither of these projects are as of yet in a usable condition. Is this true? Has development stalled on both of them? Are there any other(!) attempts to port Dink to Linux?
In short, is there any way (apart from running the Windows executable using Wine or something) I can play Dink Smallwood (and/or other DMODs) on Linux?
