Answer 1

You can download DOS ports of most Unix commands (for example here - pick any set of commands you like that includes tail)

After downloading, simply use tail -16 filename.txt

The benefit (to offset the effort of downloading/unpacking) is that you get a whole BUNDLE of really good Unix command line tools to use.
