I wish it did, but not on my Mac running Panther, it doesn't. I verified
that /var/log/system.log does indeed log unix calls from my application, and
they print in Console.app as they occur. But this log does not get NSLog()s
(or std::couts) from within int main(int argc, char* argv). These outputs
do, however, go to Terminal when launching my app from the terminal, just
the same as if they appeared somewhere in the app's "regular" code.
Thanks,
Jerry
