64 Bit Issues

I've been spending more time analysing the Poker FTP data.

Unfortunately, I lost a lot of time due to Java Out of Memory errors. I tried using the -Xmx1g option, but that wasn't enough. And increasing the heapsize over 1 gig prevented the Java virtual machine from even starting. Eventually, I discovered that the problem was the virtual machine. The 32 bit Java virtual machine was limited to a 1 gig heap, while the 64 bit version didn't have the limitation.

Upon installing the 64 bit Java Virtual Machine, my code ran successfully. I now have some useful VPIP results for players at Pokerstars.
