The fact that the descr_strat doesn't show properly could be related to the problem. The Rome parser relies on the file being a windows text file - with both carriage return and newline (invisible) characters at the end of each line. If you use any Unix-derived tools or text editors which do not enforce this you could run into trouble, as the Unix standard is different. Opening the file in Notepad and then saving it would sort this out, if i remember correctly...
