Well, without actually modifying the code for revCopyFile, the answer is
"sort of" - that is, you can bring up your own progress bar with a dummy
starting value that just hangs there until revCopyFile is completed, and
then snaps to 100% and closes. But to actually have the progress bar
relative to the progress of the copy itself, that's unfortunately not
possible.

Personally, I'd put up a dialog or palette window with a statement like
"Copying... this may take a minute or two" and set the cursor to watch.
