Well I have a little script called prcat:
http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/scripts/prcat
("cat" with progress reporting). I pretty much only use it for
copying CDs onto our CD server. But it writes progress to stderr,
so you'd go:
prcat fromfile >tofile
and see it go. Sometimes useful. It uses my perl stuff so you you can
either grab the few modules it uses from here:
http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/scripts/cs/
or just get the whole css package:

The problem is that Scotland doesn't have it's own government with
tax-raising powers.
