Recently I saw a posting of somebody in INFO-VAX writing a TAIL
program for VMS. (reading a file in backward direction).
I have written such a program for VMS that does not read the
entire file but really starts at the fileend with reading. So you
can easy read very large files. Further it can handle a lot of
VMS-filetypes. The program is written in C. Everybody who is
interested in this program or has any ideas to distribute the
.EXE-file, please drop a mail to
