Quail is a real-time log viewing program that I wrote to support large files with color highlighting and search functionality.  Quail also provides a front end to LogParser enabling SQL query support for your logs.

Quail is written in C# and has some interesting code to tail logfiles, search, use a virtual listbox with colors, read options, and put a GUI on LogParser.  To use the query functionality you must install LogParser 2.2.

-Enjoy

If you find bugs send me a line...

Update (2/25/2006): Fixed bugs around display issues, key handling, and file reload on log rollover.

Update (5/22/2006): Enhanced highlight feature and added load from non-working directory.
