Package: multitail
Description: view multiple logfiles windowed on console
 multitail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail
 program.
 
 The difference is that this program creates multiple windows on your
 console (with ncurses). It can also use colours while displaying the
 logfiles for faster recognising which lines are important and which are
 not.
 
 It is optimized for terminal-sessions through slow links.
