Hoo WinTail is a real-time log monitor 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 debugging API) output as well.

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