I copied e3pi to e3vi on BL1 and it works as e3vi (I get a list of vi 
commands).

But what I am trying to dois make e3pi work and for that I seem to need 
/usr/bin/tail.

BL1 has a busybox tail.  Copying the link from tail to busybox into 
/usr/bin/ gave me a tail that was 114K long and may be busybox itselfand 
it didnot work.

If I do not have a BL1-variety tail in /bin/tail, and I try to run e3pi 
(which I compiled) 

Cannot decompress /usr/local/bin/e3pi.

I have no trouble running the e3vi which I made by copying e3pi to e3vi.

How do I get the busybox tail to work so I can decompress e3pi, and how do 
I point it to work as /bin/tail?


If I add the proper tail to /bin from txtutils both BL1 and BL2 will run 
e3pi.  If I don't, I can use the other e3s but not e3pi.


I first renamed the tail Ihad added and e3pi did not work, thenI tried to 
make a symlink from busybox tail to /bin/tail.  Maybe I did this wrong?
