Re: 5250 data stream issue

I originally made the progress bar so that it could be seen from across 
the room.  The job was a medium-long running job, and this gave the 
users a chance to get coffee, but be warned when it was time to head 
back to the desk.  :)

Its really a simple program, and with newer techniques would be quite 
simple to implement I suspect, although I never went back to revisit it 
since the machines turned 30 minute jobs in to 2 minute jobs.
