Fast player scout tool for Eastside Hockey Manager Freeware by Natasha.

I like player scout, but it is too slow. That prompted me to write my own program that is much faster. I am just an amatuer programmer, so my code can probably be more efficient and effective. However, it is smaller and much, much faster than playerscout. The code was written for EHM 1.16.
The program searches the player.ehm file in your saved folder for the designated player name. Like playerscout, it cannot match those funky characters in the player's names. It has a few bugs that crop up once in a while. Nothing harmful, just annoying. Post the error message and a fix will be on the way, either by me or another fellow user.
To run the program, you need a jre supporting java 2, which is a free download from Sun's site. If you want to recompile the code, you will need the JSDK(also free). That package includes a copy of the JRE. Put the JRE in path by appending directory to path in autoexec.bat
path=c:\windows;c:\;c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin
The program runs as an application, not an applet because applet's have very strict file access restrictions.
Start by typing the following command from DOS
c:\>javaw Finder
javaw allows the program to run free of the DOS window.
I prefer to create a batch file with the above command and add it as a shortcut to the desktop.
javaw PGraphics
Save with a .bat extension
ex: c:\>playersearch.bat
The program's default directory for player searches is c:\Program Files\Eastside Hockey Manager\saves\Smetana
To change to another directory, Click on File-->Open
This will pop up a menu. Choose the DIRECTORY (save folder) that you want to use for player searches. For example, if your game is saved in a folder named "Toronto", click once on that folder and press the Open button.
Search for a player by typing his name in the box above Find Player. If found, the player's ratings will display in the three rows of boxes.
The first row is the player's current ratings. The second row is the actual ceilings. The third row is the potential multiplied by the ceilings (except for penalty) that indicates what the player could become.
If you do choose to edit the program, please post the source code for others to use and share. Also, all suggestions about the program (positive or negative) are welcome.
