Maybe this will work for you:
;;; tail.el --- Tail files within Emacs
;; Copyright (C) 2000 by Benjamin Drieu
;; Author: Benjamin Drieu
;;; Commentary:
;; This program displays ``tailed'' contents of files inside
;; transients windows of Emacs. It is primarily meant to keep an eye
;; on logs within Emacs instead of using additional terminals.
;; This was developed for GNU Emacs 20.x but should work as well for
;; XEmacs 21.x
;; Primary URL for tail.el is http://inferno.cs.univ-paris8.fr/~drieu/emacs/
