Hi,

Has anyone written a progress bar in SuperBASIC ?
With SSB, I wrote a bar the progressed a single character for every 10 lines of code processed. Since the program had no idea of how large the file being processed is, I could not guess a percent. With some work, it could be done.

A line showing that work is being done is better than the software just sitting there looking like it has frozen.

Sun used a spinner to show work being done. Basically it's a dash (-) then a slahs (\) then anther dash, and then the other slash (/). When printed at the same location, it looks like it's spinning.
