Load(): How to display load progress messages?

Hi,

In s2dverification >= 2.3.0 the Load() function runs in parallel processes. Each process reads a data file, regrids it, applies mask and weights and calculates average if needed. Currently, the progress is not displayed and, at the beginning all the file names appear in a list. Then the user waits until everything is loaded.

There is an option to make every parallel process to display the file name just before starting to process it. But many processes may contend to put a message in the R shell at the same time, so the messages instead of looking like

FILE1
FILE2
FILE3

could look, for example, like

FILEFILE12

FILE3

Do we leave it as is (no information about progress) or go for the parallel output option?
