Sorry about the repost, but the old title was apparently misleading.

I want to program a frontend to a dos command, that loads a program into
a device. This command displays the percentage of load achieved
continously on the screen.

Now I want to make a nicer DOS GUI to this command, without having the
source for the command. It should not be a problem to start the load
program from my dos GUI, but I want to read out the percentage written
to the screen by the load command and draw a bar in the GUI.

Can someone give me hints on how to do this (read the data output from
load command)?

when run it looks like this:

>Load filename.bin
LOADING filename 45% 1345 bytes written

I want to do this in djgpp, perhaps with a suitable library, but other
free compilers/libraries will also do.
