Are there any command like Unix "tail -f " ?

I'm developing a service program who writes log file in each 5 second.
Now, I want to watch changes of the contaxt of the file.

I know Unix porvides such program ,"tail -f ".

Does Windows has similar command?

Thanks

search for "wintail" or install cygwin, which provides a port of tail.
