What is the problem with using "tail -f" to monitor a file, and display the 
result in a GUI made in Gambas ???

DIM hProcess AS Process

EXEC [ "tail", "-f", MyFile ] FOR READ AS hProcess

...

PUBLIC SUB Process_Read()

  DIM sLig AS String

  LINE INPUT #LAST, sLig

  ...

END

Or something like that.
