Version 1.16 of CM Scout is working with CM 00/01, besides that it has the exact same
features as 1.15 for CM 99/00.

For version 1.15 of CM Scout I tried to add the features that most people was interes-
tes in seeing, unfortuntely I couldn't fully do that. Many people wanted to search for
interested players, this feature would be very difficult to add, so instead I made it
possible to save the list of players you've found, to a scout file that can be opened
in the game by going to the Player Search part of the game and choose one of your
scouts, it doesn't matter if you have someone employed at that position or not, and
then load the file you just saved, you can now set the filter for the players you've
found and find out if anybody is interested in moving to your club.

A lot of people also wanted to be able to decide for them self which player-data they
could see in the list and in the saved text-files. This is now possible, if you go to
the Options window, you can change the content of the list on the left, the data in
that list will be visible in your result-list and your text-files.

Version 1.10 of CM Scout includes some new features, which should make your scouting
easier. First of all it's possible to search for a lot of new attributes, including
ability, potential ability and transfer status. But the ones mentioned is just a
very small selection. You also have the possibility to save info about the players
you found in your search to a text file. The search function has been improved, which
makes searching a lot faster. The last new function added is called Quick Load Team
this function only loads the players from the team you choose, this means that the
loading is faster, but you can't search for other players if you use this function.

As you'll see when you start the program, it has a new splash screen. The picture was
made by Aki Turunen, and I would like to thank him for his great work, and for letting
me use it in the program.

It's not written to work with CM 3, but I haven't really tested it, so if anybody is
going to try please mail me and tell me the result.

OK what is so special about this program. Well first of all it's the first program
ever to read the hidden stats in CM saved games. This means you can search for all
the important stats like finishing, handling, dribbling and a lot more.

The program is really simple to use, first of all you need to load a saved game, make
sure it's uncompressed, this can be changed in the games options, if it isn't uncom-
pressed the program will tell you and stop loading. Then choose search and set your
search criteria, or just leave everything blank and find all players in the game,
although I don't recommend that because a saved game has a lot of players and it'll
take some time to load. When the program has finished searching, you'll see the play-
ers it has found in the list along with the most important stats. Now you can double-
click on a player and see all his stats.

Known Bugs:
===========
- Some of the not so important stats are sometimes wrong (see the end of this file for
  a list)
