Unfortunately, this won't be easy for you. One of CF's major drawbacks is
that it doesn't send anything to the browser to display until the whole page
has completed running. In ASP, for example, you can flush the response
buffer whenever you want, which lets you print incremental status lines to
the user.
To do this with CF you'll have to split the process up into discrete
sections and make each section its own page call. Neither pretty nor
efficient, but I can't think of any other way (short of using ASP that is).
