Thanks for your contribution, but I agree with Ariel that doing fancy 
things with the terminal will cause portability problems. I have 
experienced such problems with GNU Moe, but Moe is an editor, and it 
must do fancy things with the terminal. However , the main job of 
ddrescue is data rescue, and I don't like the idea of creating stability 
or portability problems "just" to see some graphics on screen. GNU 
Ddrescue is not only used on GNU/Linux systems.
