Hoo WinTail is a real-time file viewer for Windows like the UNIX tail -f utility. It can be used to view the end of a growing file. It is ideal for viewing application traces or server logs in real time. You can view the last part of a large file without the need to load the entire file quickly.

Hoo WinTail is only a file viewer. It makes no changes to the file that is opened. It opens the file in read-only mode. As new lines are written to the file by another program (such as would happen with a log file, for example), Hoo WinTail reads the new lines and displays them.

Hoo WinTail can capture and display OutputDebugString (Windows Debug API) and TRACE / ATLTRACE (MS Visual C++ Debug Macro) output as well.

Hoo WinTail has an Attractive and intuitive MDI interface. You can monitor multiple log files and capture OutputDebugString output at same time.
