It is not DataInputStream that doesn't support mark/reset. DataInputStream simply delegates the calls to mark/reset to the underlying stream (in this case a FileInputStream). The FileInputStream does however not support mark/reset operations (iirc).
The solution to this problem is to first wrap the FileInputStream in a BufferedInputStream before passing it to the DataInputStream. That should make it possible to use the desired operations. Ie.
Wrap in a BufferedInputStream it implements mark.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
