Convert WinBUGS data file to JAGS data file
bugs2jags converts a WinBUGS data in the format called "S-Plus"
(i.e. the format created by the dput function) and writes it in
dump format used by JAGS.
NB WinBUGS stores its arrays in row order. This is different
from R and JAGS which both store arrays in column order. This
difference is taken into account by bugs2jags which will
automatically reorder the data in arrays, without changing the
dimension.
Not yet available in S-PLUS.
