    Supports regexp! Stores filters and highlightings! The best alternative to BareTailPro! The only BareTailPro feature that it miss is outputting filtered test while entering filter. This feature saves the annoying push on "search" button. But! It stores the last view and shows it on reopen! I liked it a lot, and BareTailPro doesn't have it :) Glog has no regexp search, so it loose :)
