Hi...

At present I am using cygwin 1.5 mainly, but I have also started to migrate over to 1.7. Everything works quite well, but I encountered a problem with the tail command. Obviously the + syntax does no longer work in 1.7

In 1.5 when I call eg.
tail +3 /path/to/some/file

I get the whole file printed starting with line 3 (the first 2 lines are omitted). With cygwin 1.7 this does no longer work.
I get an error:
tail: cannot open '+3' for reading: No such file or directory.

Is this on purpose or an accident?

Roland
