Subject: Reading total lines of file then displaying in reverse?

How would I use File or IO to read all the lines of a
file, then display the contents in reverse?

Its for a simple log reading script, which I would
like to have read the total lines, then display with
the latest entries first, and show x amount of log
entries per page.

I'm currently just dumping the whole, or part of the
log with:

======
IO.readlines("my.log")[1..49].each_with_index do
|line, index|
======

I guess I would have to count all lines, then assign a
variable to the last number it counts, and then work
in reverse from this variable...  hmmm.  I'm not
sure:P

Any ideas?
