How Do OOP Programmers Flowchart?

Lew Pitcher queries: "I recently attended a presentation of a code documentation tool that, among other things, produced a flowchart of the analyzed code. The vendor sells this one product for analyzing both mainframe code (COBOL, 390 Assembler, PL1, etc.) and 'distributed' code (C#, Java, C++, Smalltalk, etc). I haven't kept up with the 'modern' techniques (I prefer Nassi-Shneiderman charts, but I still have my flowcharting template), and wondered if modern 'OOP' programmers use flowcharts. If they don't, what is the preferred technique for diagramming an OOP program?"

    Hmm... let's check out developers.slashdot.org to see what the latest developer news is. Hmm... COBOL... COBOL again, I really should check out this COBOL language. Maybe my FORTRAN just isn't cutting it anymore.
