    Great utility but the pause doesn't work. May sound trivial but if you see a hit on a keyword what's the next thing you want to do? Scroll back and look at the entire line. You can't do that if you're watching something like logs from a busy mail server. Is this a dead project?

    Pros: It works, doesn't need to be installed and uses windows instead of the command line. Cons: Pausing and workspaces don't work.

    There hasn't been a release in donkeys years, but it's still a useful tool. What do you get over a command line tail you might ask? Well mainly color highlighting, but also it behaves like a normal window that can be resized unlike a windows command prompt. I go though periods of using it a lot.

    No further development? I think https://sourceforge.net/projects/wintail2/ is a better choice for file monitor.
