+If you have the Windows version of The Feeble Files, there are two things to
+note. First of all, more than 300 files, most of them necessary for the game to
+run, are stored in a file called data1.cab. ScummVM does not know how to unpack
+this file, so you will probably have to let the original installer do it.
+
+Secondly, the game uses Smacker cutscenes extensively. For reasons described
+above, we cannot support these directly. They have to be re-encoded to DXA,
+which is the format used for the Macintosh and Amiga cutscenes. See the tools
+README for further details about this.

 To run The Legend of Kyrandia under ScummVM you need the kyra.dat file,
 which can be found in the Downloads section of the ScummVM website.
