I hesitate to suggest that Tony Rossini might be confused, but I think I am (though I feel a bit confused about that too)! One piece of information which may be helpful (though it hasn't cleared things up for me) is from http://www.math.helsinki.fi/openbugs/ Software A combined version of the OpenBUGS programme for Windows and Linux personel computers can be downloaded as a .zip file from here. There are some instructions for installation on this page. The Windows version of OpenBUGS contains three seperate exectutable files: winbugs.exe for running the GUI Windows version, the shortcut BackBUGS for running a non interative script in WinBUGS and ClassicBUGS, a non Windows command line version of BUGS. BRugs, a set of R functions which reproduce the functionality of the GUI interface, is also avaliable to Windows users. The Linux version of OpenBUGS consists of a single shell script, LinBUGS, which provides the "ClassicBUGS" interface. At present the BRugs R functions do not work under Linux. The binary distribution of the programme comes with documentation in two formats: *.odc the native WinBUGS format, and *.html which can also be read on Linux personal computers using a web browser. The documentation can also be read online here. The full source code for OpenBUGS is available. The source code for the most recent verion (OpenBUGS 2.1.0) can be downloaded as a .zip file from here The Component Pascal source code consists of a large number of modules of which only a subset are required for the Linux personel computer platform. As to "Component Pascal", this seems from my searches to be a outgrowth of Oberon, and apparently at one time was called "Garden Point Component Pascal". Garden Point originally produced a version of Modula 2, which was required to compile the old orignal version of BUGS (pre-WinBUGS) on Linux (which I once did, about 10 years ago). So it all seems to be tangled up together, with no clear indication of what you need, nor how to do it, if you want to get BRugs up on Linux. As to getting hold of Component Pascal, while there is documentation on the Oberon Website http://www.oberon.ch there is no indication of how to get the software. It looks as though (though this is not clear either) it may be a commercial product. Hoping this helps, if not to clarify, at least to assist others in their searches! Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 08-Apr-05 Time: 14:16:00 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ R-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
