come to it only to do the search for keyword. This time this method
doesn't work, I could not find out how to define the number of columns
(number of characters in a row) for utf8 output device.

Like this one (read it on wide screen, sorry but this is the only thing
close I can produce:

| tail -n 50 |awk 'FNR > 25 {print l[FNR-25] " | " $0;} FNR <=25 {l[FNR] =
$0;}'
