Tail command for Windows with Colors

Tail is a program on Unix and Unix-like systems used to display the tail end of a text file or piped data. Tail also has option to monitor a file as new lines are added to the file by another process, tail updates the display. This is particularly useful for monitoring log files.

I have made a utility in .net which will display last few lines and follow the file for monitoring. Additionally it will change font color with respect to the context of the line. For ERROR it will display in Red color, WARN in Yellow, DEBUG in Gray and rest in White.

For .net framework version 4.5, you can download it here

Just copy it in C:\windows so that you can use it in Command Prompt on any folder.
