I wanna implement the revolving slash while the process is executing

I have a Windows console application, which takes around 3 minutes to
complete the execution.

I am interested in implementing something animate while users are
waiting for the process to complete.

If you have experience with Linux/Unix, you should be very familiar
with the revolving slash ( / ) or the growing dots ( ...... ), which
you normally see, when a process is taking some time.

I guess I may have to implement 2 threads. One does the real dirty
work behind, the other displays the revolving slashes (maybe it is a
combination of --, / and \) or grows the dots.

Any idea how to implement this fun stuff? Thanks.
