There seems to be a lot of interest in showing a progress bar during file copies. I have this C&D (cheap and dirty) code that will do it. It relies on the fact that a file will report a size of zero until the last byte is written. It's not a percentile graph, simply a growing row of dots.
code:
Break on? "Please stand by whislt we copy this big file" ?
Run '%comspec% /c copy "D:\RealBig.fil" "c:\"'
While GetFileSize("C:\RealBig.fil") = 0
"."
sleep 1
loop
get $
