Has anyone found a way to do a simple progress bar in CL?
I have a long-running interactive CL (please don't ask why)

Design question. Why are you running this interactive at all?
Why tie up the users terminal for a long running job that can
easily be run in batch and let the user go back to work.

Tim specifically asked us NOT to ask why! :)
