In 11g I use adrci for that:
Adrci> show alert -tail -f
but of course this sort of tail -f is limited to the files supported by adrci.

I used to carry a tail.exe with me everywhere where there was oracle on windows, very handy.

I don't find the original thread anymore, where someone asked whether there's a tail -f available for Windows. Such command exists in the windows resource kit as well:

C:\oracle\admin\WIN92\bdump>"c:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\tail" -f alert_win92.log
