Sorry mate, I'm a Mac guy. I get real tail for when I can't use builder's
console :) Cygwin's tail is *OK*, but when I'm stuck watching tail -f I like
to hit "enter" a bunch of times in the console before i take actions in the
browser to make a nice break I can see easily when scrolling back up through
results, and last I tried it didn't let you do that.
