		try (BufferedReader is = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(argv[0]))) {

			Stack myStack = new Stack();

			// Put it in the stack frontwards
			while ((line = is.readLine()) != null) {
				myStack.push(line);
			}

			// Print the stack backwards
			while (!myStack.empty()) {
				System.out.println(myStack.pop());
