Hi Shankar,
Did you met any problem when you use tail.exe on a
file with long filename.
For example:
The command: tail paratestdatalog.out
produces a 'No file or directory' error
The command: tail paratestdatalog.gold
produces a 'No file or directory' error
The command: tail parate~1.gold
produces a 'No file or directory' error
The command: tail parate~1.out
works
Thanks,
Yu
