[PLUG] not head, not tail, but what?

["Kyle R . Burton" <mortis@voicenet.com>]

Is there a standard utility out there that can print out all the lines
from a file except the first n?

Head can get you the first n, tail can get you the last n.  Is there
something that can get you m-n?

Is there an easy way to do this?  To just chop off the first n lines
from a file?  It would be nice to do this without having to count the
number of lines in the file first.

I know this kind of utility would be easy to write, but it feels like
it should already exist...


Thanks,
Kyle
