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
