Re: TAIL for OVMS IA64?
>>> Yeah sure, but how LAME are those criteria?
As lame as the implementation of a Unix, aka coreutils tool in VMS. However, this has been this way for years and nobody asked (until last month?) to improve it or got through with her/his request.
>>> $ DEFINE/SYSTEM DECC$DEFAULT_LRL 511
I wouldn't dare to do this, even if I had the privileges. DEFINE/USER is what I use and recommend when setting a CRTL feature logical. No, I didn't write the HELP text:

Re: TAIL for OVMS IA64?
Those DECC$ logical names and the related non-modular morass can be stabiility kryptonite.
I'd recommend those are either defined /USER only, or are embedded within specific and task-dedicated processes. Defining those logical names with /SYSTEM risks knocking over something else, and quite possibly with an obscure error.
And I'm not arguing that TYPE /TAIL is a mess. Just that a "log" file that's over 132 or so characters in width isn't intended for (VMS) humans.
Like TYPE /TAIL's various issues, the lack of baked-in word-wrapping are related parts of the UI-level problems and omissions. (When the easiest way to wrap text is GNV, there's something missing in the base OS.)

Re: TAIL for OVMS IA64?
Hi Steven,
I was able to compile the attached code and it seems to work! I'll test it first again with my test server before I port it over to our production cluster.
Thanks!
