I originally made the progress bar so that it could be seen from across the room. The job was a medium-long running job, and this gave the users a chance to get coffee, but be warned when it was time to head back to the desk. :)

Its really a simple program, and with newer techniques would be quite simple to implement I suspect, although I never went back to revisit it since the machines turned 30 minute jobs in to 2 minute jobs.

I was thinking, rather, of simply sending a periodic "n records processed" message to the message line.

Sort of the same way, if you've got a program calling FTP, you get periodic message-line updates of the number of bytes transferred.

Unfortunately, I've never mastered the subtleties of sending things to a terminal's message line, and at times, I find it more expedient to fake it than to use it.
