This There are pretty many different styles of progress reports (wget, scp, rsync are some that I use regularly). Some might want a text-only or curses-based one, while other applications prefer a graphics-oriented display. Considering that, I think that generating machine-readable output should be an option at least, if not the only mode. Starting with dd is fine with me. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
