This command file is crude but seems to do what you want.  Just feed it a
spool file name & your -f value. In the PRINT command a negative value shows
that many lines from the end.  A positive value is counted from the
beginning.

parm sp_file start_line=1
setvar done FALSE
while (not done) do
  echo ====
  print !sp_file;start=!start_line
  pause 5
endwhile
