desc: "\"xtail\" watches the growth of files.  It's like running a \"tail -f\"\non
  a bunch of files at once.  \n\nYou can specify both filenames and directories on
  the command line.\nIf you specify a directory, it watches all the files in that\ndirectory.
  \ It will notice when new files are created (and start\nwatching them) or when old
  files are deleted (and stop watching\nthem).\n\nThis program is an oldie but goodie.
  \ It was posted to comp.sources.misc\nin July 1989 (see ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume7/xtail.Z).\nI
  remember posting an even earlier version to alt.sources.  It has\nbeen published
  in the O'Reilly & Associates \"Unix Power Tools\"\ncollection (book and CD-ROM).
  \ Over the years, some fly-by-night\norganizations (such as the MIT X Consortium
  and SGI) have tried to\nsteal the \"xtail\" name.  Don't be fooled!  Insist on the
  original.\n\nWWW: http://www.unicom.com/sw/xtail/\n"
