+      	The majority of mac versions won't work without first extracting the resources into a format ScummVM
+	understands.  To do this you need to use the rescumm tool in the scummvm-tools package.
+	An example usage might look like: <i>rescumm "Sam &em; Max Demo Data"</i>.  Some CDs may appear to
+	only contain a application, in which case there is still a seperate data file but it is invisible.  
+	The older games which have LFL files should only need the --platform=macintosh option to run.</p></li>
