XTail -- Watch Log Files In Real Time

If you run a server on your system or have other programs that generate text file activity logs, XTail will allow you to watch the file update in real time. Linux has a "tail" command that allows you to watch a file like this. XTail is a similar program for Windows that has a friendly graphic interface and can display multiple log files in multiple child windows.

Its feature list includes:

* 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
* It remembers your most recently watched files
* You can open files via a file browser, command line parameters, or drag and drop
* You can quickly view file statistic such as - last modification time and file size
* You can customize sizes, fonts, refresh interval, window size and placement
* You can copy/save/print files
* You can highlight keywords of your choice

This is a fairly specialized program. Many people will never have a need for a program like this. But if you do need the ability to watch log files live, XTail does the job quite well.
