> is there an easy way to read a file in reverse order

It's not as easy as starting from the beginning, but you can use the
seek() function to start reading from the end of the file.

http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~czyborra/~/bin/grev is a sample script to
grep from the end in a logfile several megabytes large.

Please fill in your full address in your ~/.netscape-preferences
