3.13) 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.
+If you have the Windows version of The Feeble Files, there are several things
+to note.
-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.
+Many of the files necessary for the game are stored in an InstallShield file
+called data1.cab, which ScummVM is unable to unpack. You will need to use the
+original installer or i5comp to unpack the contents of this file.

only use each if ScummVM was compiled with the respective decoder support
