I can't speak for the Windows version, but I have some experience using DbgMessage on
a Mac.
When running on the simulator (Mac only), this routine can be used to display to the
log window. The only problem is that the log window is closed when you choose the Quit
command before the appStop event is processed. This makes it a poor choice for
messages which might appear as the app shuts down. I used DbgMessage anyway, but I
also write the debug messages to a log file using stdio.h (remember, we're running on
the desktop).
When running on the emulator, DbgMessage is unreliable. This is probably not a problem
on the PC since the way Poser communicates with the debugger is completely different.
I use DbgMessage anyway, but I also write the debug messages to a log file using
Poser's host API.
Note that Poser appends a '\n' automatically but the simulator does not.
