We here in the EU are steps ahead of this discussion. Try what ever you want, there is no chance for a patent on any kind of software, not as long as it isn't bundled with any kind of hardware. And as the Americans think that they are in nearly all cases the worlds mastermind let them take a look to the other side of the Atlantic! Patents on software are so damn stupid.

Just don't use MS Access, where the progress bar always goes right to 99% and then spends however long finishing.

Idiotic! Libraries that include the creation of progress bars are already everywhere. For example, I use a product called "QT" from TrollTech. QT takes a lot of the pain away from trying to develop GUIs that are platform independent. (Contrary to what Terry says, plenty of people still run LINUX, dammit.) So, when you want a progress bar, you just call one of their handy library functions to create it and control it. Groovy. Copyrighting the coding of progress bars? Idiotic!
