and log viewer for Windows like the

of a growing file. It is ideal for viewing application
traces or server log in real-time. You can view the last part of a
large file quickly without the need to load the entire file. Hoo WinTail
could capture and display OutputDebugString (Windows debugging
API) output as well.
Hoo WinTail has many excellent features for debugging program
and system administration: highlight filters, include
and exclude filters, regular expression for filters, monitor multiple log files,
bookmarks support, minimize to systray and flash systray icon to indicate new
lines written and so on.
Hoo WinTail is a file viewer only. It makes no
changes to log files. It opens log files in read-only mode. When
new lines are written to log file by other programs (e.g. your applications or
web server), Hoo WinTail reads the new lines and displays them.
Hoo WinTail has an attractive and intuitive MDI
and tabbed interface. You could monitor and view multiple
log files and capture OutputDebugString output
at the same time.
