      public static String readFirstLine( String path )
      {
          try (
              RandomAccessFile in = new RandomAccessFile( path, "r" )
              )
          {
              String line = in.readLine();   // may throw 
                                             // IOException
              return line;
          }
          catch ( FileNotFoundException ex )
          {
              System.err.println( ex.toString() );
              return null;
          }
          catch ( EOFException ex )
          {
              System.err.println( ex.toString() );
              return null;
          }
          catch( IOException ex )
          {
              ex.printStackTrace();
              return null;
          }
