etail is a tail command for looking at .csv / .tsv log / data files in a terminal window.

This is a Go rewrite of the pdptail command written in perl, dating back to the PDP++ era.

This should install into your $GOPATH/bin dir:

$ go get github.com/emer/etail

Just pass files as args, e.g., on the test files in this dir:

$ etail RA25*
