Cool, thanks. I'll look around to see if I can find a Dos equivelent of tail... ...ok, I had a copy of that on a GNU CD. No luck so far C:\CRAFTY>tail -f log.002 c:/crafty/tail.exe: log.002: Permission denied (EACCES) C:\CRAFTY> Tried it in the Windows directory first because I figured that would be in the path, that didn't work, so I moved it to Crafty's directory, but no luck. I'll have to take a close look, Windows might be locking me out, or the command line parameters might be different for the GNU Dos version. Pete
