I faced the same issue after I moved to v.1.3.1. In my case the problem was with file encoding. I use Visual Studio for the development, it adds byte order mark (3 extra bytes) in the beginning of the file.
It's possible to see these bytes in Far manager. If you use VS try to save the file as the following: "File->Advanced save options->" Encoding: Unicode (UTF-8 without signature ) - Codepage 65001. It should fix your problem.
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.
