I know how to tie *STDOUT to a text widget but can I tie a file so that if another program writes to that file I will see the changes live?

This is similar to the Tk log file tailing question that pops up here from time to time. Try a super search on "Tk" "log" "tail". My solution is given in this node. -- I'm Not Just Another Perl Hacker	[reply]
