If you're looking for the full functionality of tail, and more UNIX toolkit kinda stuff, you might want to look into the MKS toolkit for Developers. It costs, but from my experiences at my last job, it's rather nice. Otherwise, you could go with the free option of getting Cygwin. Of course, if you're only looking for the last couple lines, use 'type'. Sort of like 'cat', only in DOS. It'll take a minute or so on big files for everything to scroll past, but if you need less than a screenbuffer of the last few lines, it'll do. Just 'type <filename>'. -- Michael Vieths Foeclan at Winternet.Com On Thu, 14 Jun 2001, Brian wrote: > I have some massive files that I'm working on, and some of them I only > need to see the last few lines.
