tail: Tiny documentation issue

[Schmidt, Kriss A]

Hi there,

I was trying to work with the 'tail' command and ran into a little problem.

The "--help" states:

"If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a '+',
print beginning with the Nth item from the start of each file, otherwise,
print the last N items in the file.  N may have a multiplier suffix:
b 512, k 1024, m 1024*1024."

But this does not work as expected.  Comparing it to the 'head' command, '-' is 
used, so I tried that and it works as expected.

I hope this helps improve the product, which I rely on.  If it's been reported 
already, please disregard.

Thank you for helping us Unix folks survive in the DOS world,
Kriss
