I can't reproduce your problem with tail from the 2.0 series and I don't have any of the old 1.x series around to try. I assume it has been fixed. Thanks for the report. The latest test release is available at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/ Being on WinNT I am sure you are using the Cygwin utilities. You don't say which version of Cygwin you are using but I am sure they have a newer version available. The cygwin home page is at: http://www.cygwin.com/ They have newer versions available.
