function fMessageStatus(prtfrc, njob, waitbarString, waitbarTitle, Parallel, MasterName, DyMo)
% In a parallelization context, this function is launched on slave
% machines, and acts as a message passing device for the master machine.
% prtfrc [double], fraction of iteration performed
% njob [int], index number of this CPU among all CPUs in the
%                       cluster
% waitbarString [char], running message string to be displayed in the monitor window on master machine 
% waitbarTitle [char], title to be displayed in the monitor window on master machine
% Parallel [struct], options_.parallel(ThisMatlab), i.e. the paralle settings for this slave machine in the cluster 
% MasterName [char], IP address or PC name of the master 
% DyMo [char], working directory of the master machine
