I don't know how to do this, but 'ftformat' from the ftape-<something> package uses something like this to tell the user which track it is formatting. 'ldd ftformat' shows that it uses only libc.so.6 and ld-linux.so.2 , so I guess standard C can do this for you. You could try printing a backspace (^H) and no newline (LF).
