Developer’s Description

By Xymantix
Retrieve file information of file on PC.
XTail is a real-time file viewer that's modeled after the UNIX 'tail' command. In a nutshell, it will load and display files. Its real power is the ability to keep the view constantly up-to-date. In other words, when the file changes XTail will update the view of the file to keep it in synch with the file's actual contents. Because of this, it's a great tool for monitoring log files. It's an MDI application with support for multiple child windows with cascade and tile ability. It has a resizable window with resizable and scrollable file views, it can read in large files quickly, and remembers your most recently watched files. You can open files via a file browser, command line parameters, or drag and drop.
