Strange, my system works with +x as the only option, and in every experience i have, it's worked that way (incl unix). Maybe we can all do a test with it and see what the deal is - I've attached a text file with lines counting to 30 for testing purposes, but you can do whatever you want with it ;-)

I believe that the '+' has to be used in conjunction with an option, for example:

$ tail -n +300 big_file.txt

If you just issue "+x" as an option (where 'x' is an integer) it attempts to open the file named "+x"... at least on my system it does.
