Trace file watching app?
-
The TRACE() and ATLTRACE() macros have saved me a lot of time trying to find out what my programs do, but they are not an option when writing for example network server applications. I have some log classes that can log to a file but I haven't found an application yet that will keep an eye on a file and continuously show the last couple of lines, much like tail -f with a GUI. Maybe even a taskbar app that pops up a balloon when it detects new lines or so? Anyway, what do you people use? This must be a very common problem... Thanks...

I se dbgview from Sysinternals.com. Does the job for me. Ryan.
It's yet another shock to our system to discover that not only are we not the centre of the Universe and we're not made of anything, but we started out as some kind of slime and got to where we are via being a monkey. It just doesn't read well.
