wtail hogs the CPU

  A: This is fixed since version 0.1.4.

Problems watching long files

  Q: When watching a long file, wtail takes forever to catch up.
     Why does it take so long when tail does it instantly ?

  A: wtail counts lines, tail doesn't. I plan to mitigate--if
     not solve--the problem by decoupling screen output from
     file input. In the meantime, you might want to try
     Folkert's patches :

How do I watch the output of a filter ?

  Q: I'm running p0rnd, a demon that downloads p0rn from the net
     for me but its log contains IP addresses so I like to run
     it through p0rncook, a filter that resolves IP addresses.

  A: wtail in itself does not support running the files it
     watches through filters but your system does. If your shell
     is bash, try running :

         wtail <(p0rncook /var/log/p0rnd.log)

     Otherwise, try something along these lines :

         mkfifo ~/fifo
	 p0rncook /var/log/p0rnd.log >~/fifo
	 wtail ~/fifo

     Be aware that FIFOs and pipes don't always work
     transparently. Read the man page for flush(3) and look
     SIGPIPE up in signal(7).

How do I watch files containing ANSI colour escape sequences ?

  Q: When I watch a file that contains escape sequences (ANSI
     colour escapes and the like), I get gibberish instead of
     colour. Are you going to add support for colour ?

  A: Maybe, maybe not.
