I am trying to use TAIL.EXE version 2.0 under MS-DOS 6.20. The EXE comes directly from the djgpp binary distribution archive txt20b.zip . If I let the output go to the screen, two strange things happen: I get one line less than I ask for, and I get an oddball error msg telling me I'm out of space to write something. In fact I have plenty of disk space. What is the pgm trying to write? If I redirect > the output to a file, I don't see that error msg, but I still get one line less than I want (e.g. last 4 lines if the parameter is -n 5). Neither problem occurs if the file does not terminate with an EOF char.
