# Snake Tail

Snake Tail is a Windows tail utility for monitoring growing text log files and Windows Event Logs. It offers MDI, tabbed, and floating window modes and color-codes log lines that match keywords, including regular expressions. It follows circular logs that are truncated or renamed, and it tails the latest file in a log directory using wildcards. It is released under the GNU GPL v3 license.
