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.
