To  be  able  to  skip  lines,  /LINES would need to read the file
anyway.  I think the best way to do this is use /BINARY/SEEK, then
TAIL  works,  and you can skip backwards (i.e. COPY SKIP TAIL FILE
-1000  gives  you  the  last  1000 bytes in the file). You need to
process lines on your own though.

Regards,
   Gabriele.
