HPS WinTail - Windows port of Unix tail Publisher's Description

HPS WinTail is the ultimate Windows port of the Unix tail utility. Just like the Unix tail, HPS WinTail continually displays new lines as they are appended to a text file - for example, a log file or a trace output file. We have added highlighting filters, include filters, exclude filters, and other features that combine to make this a truly useful utility for developers and sysadmins.
Key Features

Highlight filters - specify filter to highlight lines containing certain text
Include Filters - specify filter to only include lines containing certain text
Exclude Filters - specify filter to exclude lines containing certain text
Refresh Rate - set the rate to look for updates to the text file, from 1 second to 24 hours
Buffer Size - set no limit, or the maximum number of lines you want to keep in the display buffer
Enable/disable tailing - when enabled, automatically keeps the last line in view. You may disable tailing to scroll through the output.
Detect file truncation - when enabled, detects when the file is shortened or truncated. With this option enabled, you can also choose to display a popup message when the file is truncated.
Text search - search the output for any string
Bookmarks - set a bookmark at any line you want to return to
Font - set font for the edit window
