"tail +r<number>" is not accepted by sun /bin/tail
you meant "tail +<number>r"?
I was trying to reconcile your patch with the sun tail(1) man page too
as far as I can tell the only place where ast tail doesn't meet the sun docs is
tail -r
it currently produces no output
the fix I plan is to make this be
tail +1r
which reverses all lines in the current ast implementation
