 * pr: For compatibility (also more POSIX compliant): Include default
   separator `TAB' when merging lines of full length.
-* tail -N file1 file2 works like head -N file1 file2, except when
-  POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, in which case it gets an error.
+* When POSIXLY_CORRECT is not set, tail -N now accepts more than one file
+  argument (but warns that it's not portable), to be consistent with the
+  way head -N works,  When POSIXLY_CORRECT is set using two or more file
+  arguments with the obsolescent form (-N) evokes an error.  To avoid the
+  warning or failure, use the POSIX -n N option or the GNU --lines=N option.
