Dear All,

Is it possible to add a percentage completion bar to R? I find it
frustrating when running long calculations that I don't know at what

should wait a few minutes or hours.

Yes.  See ??progressbar

And this does need some knowledge from the programmer: no way can anyone know how long a task will take without either

- a pretty complete (and correct) analysis
- trying it.

People inadvertently write loops where step i takes time proportional to i, so extrapolation from a pilot study does not suffice.
