+3.10) The Feeble Files notes
+----- ----------------------
+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.
