This is some of the Sun Solaris cman page for tail,

The following options are supported for /usr/xpg4/bin/tail only:
-c number : The number option-argument must be a decimal integer whose sign affects the location in the file, measured in bytes, to begin the copying: + Copying starts relative to the beginning of the file. - Copying starts relative to the end of the file. none Copying starts relative to the end of the file. The origin for counting is 1; that is, -c+1 represents the first byte of the file, -c-1 the last.

-n number: Equivalent to -cnumber, except the starting loca- tion in the file is measured in lines instead of bytes. The origin for counting is 1; that is, -n+1 represents the first line of the file, -n-1 the last.

Anyway do post your OS Specs. are you running solaris 8 ?
