 under Windows where the stdout of GUI programs is not assigned to anything.
 Thus, you might view {\it wxLogMessage()} as a simple substitute for {\it
 printf()}.

+Moreover {\it wxMSW} doesn't have a {\bf console} as you may have with {\it

 \item{\bf Flexibility} The output of wxLog functions can be redirected or
 suppressed entirely based on their importance, which is either impossible or
 difficult to do with traditional methods. For example, only error messages, or
