Topic: Tail (Windows)

*nix users will be familiar with the tail command available on most *nix distros. Is there a similar lightweight util for Windows that does the same thing - ie, so I can just sit a window as lightweight as notepad open, but will update as a log file is continued to be appended to?

Indeed, first search engine result for "tail for windows".

This forum needs a feature where threads have a delay time until they appear.

parabol, great idea, but it also introduces duplicate thread risk when a story appears on news.com.au

Yesterday's Optus drama showed that many duplicate threads can occur here hours apart.

easier solution is just to ban raven from starting threads (or posting at all)
