-COUNT +COUNT This option is only recognized if it is specified first. COUNT is a decimal number optionally followed by a size letter (`b', `k', `m') as in `-c', or `l' to mean count by lines, or other option letters (`cfqv').
If there is more standard syntax for that, feel free to change it.
thanks for the link; i still don't understand what it is supposed to be doing (ah, my bad english!), but tests on OSX seem to indicate, that "tail +2" will display everything _but_ the first line. is this the behaviour you intended?
