XReverse reverses a text file line-by-line, so that what was the last line becomes the first line. This is useful when you want to view server logs, for example, with the latest line displayed at the top. Memory-mapped files helps to make XReverse very fast.

I attended St. Michael's College of the University of Toronto, with the intention of becoming a priest. A friend in the University's Computer Science Department got me interested in programming, and I have been hooked ever since.

Recently, I have moved to Los Angeles where I am doing consulting and development work.
