description
This Tail plug-in combines the ideas from vimscript#1374 and vimscript#1692 into one plugin offering both preview and tabbed tail functionality. I also added shortcut mapping to "set wrap" and "set number" - which both can be useful when observing log files.

Tail-Bundle-v_3.1.zip 3.1 2022-09-18 7.0 Martin Krischik See: https://github.com/krischik/Tail-Bundle/releases/tag/v_3.1
Tail-Bundle-v_3.0.zip 3.0 2022-09-12 7.0 Martin Krischik Aww https://github.com/krischik/Tail-Bundle/releases/tag/v_3.0
tail-3.0.vba 3.0 2007-09-17 6.0 Martin Krischik New features: Startup script:

You can now open one or more files for (tabbed) tailing using vim-tail.zsh
which is provided in the macros directory. vim-tail.zsh will use a single
gvim server and :TabTail to open the files.
tail-2.2.vba 2.2 2007-01-01 7.0 Martin Krischik Another bug slipped in and needed fixing.

Of course the "checktime" problem under windows is not yet fixed.
tail-2.1.vba 2.1 2006-12-31 7.0 Martin Krischik Some bug fixes. Vimball has been checked and should work Ok now.

However, in windows "checktime" does not work and the "pedit!" workaround is problematic when used with tabs and therefore has been commented out. As it is Windows users need to manually reload - or uncomment the "pedit!" workaround and not use tabs.
tail-2.0.0.tar.bz2 2.0 2006-12-17 7.0 Martin Krischik Upload a tar.bz2 version for those who have problems with VimBall.
