+Known Problems in ScummVM 0.4.0:
+--------------------------------
+This release has the following known problems. There is no need to report them,
+although patches to fix them are welcome. If you discover a bug that is not
+listed here, nor in the compatibility table on the web site, please see
+the section on Reporting Bugs.
+
+ Simon The Sorcerer:
+ - No inventory scrolling arrows shown in simon1dos and simon1talkie,
+ can still move around inventory though.
+ - simon1dos freezes briefly after Swampling leaves his house and
+ when talking to demons in Sordid's Tower
+ - Some minor graphical glitches
+
+ Simon The Sorcerer II:
+ - No music in simon2dos and simon2talkie
+ - Some music is missing or wrong in simon2win
+ - Some graphical glitches
+
+ Indy 3 (The Last Crusade):
+ - Music and Sound may not play
+ - In some rooms Indy may be able to walk to odd places
+ - There are some minor graphical glitches
+
+ Indy 4 (Fate Of Atlantis):
+ - Keyboard fighting does not work. ScummVM now defaults to
+ using mouse fighting.
+
+ Sam and Max:
+ - Highway subgame does not behave correctly.
+
+ Zak McKracken Fm Towns:
+ - The Fm Towns 256 color version of Zak McKracken is rare,
+ And as the ScummVM team does not encourage piracy in any
+ way, we do not know where to buy or download a copy of this
+ game. Petition LucasArts to re-release it :)
+
+ All CD games:
+ - If you are experiencing random crashes, and your game
+ plays music from CD, you have encountered a Windows bug.
+ Try copying the data files from CD to your hard disk, and
+ running them from there.
