+JAGS is Just Another Gibbs Sampler -- a program for Bayesian analysis of
+graphical models via Gibbs Sampling, not wholly unlike classic BUGS.
+
+The functionality of JAGS is based on the BUGS program created by the
+MRC Biostatistics Unit (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/). There is a short
+manual that describes the differences between JAGS and BUGS.
+
+The manual is installed as /usr/local/share/doc/jags/manual.pdf.
+
+Some of the BUGS examples have been modified to run with JAGS, and have
+been turned into a test suite. They are installed under
+/usr/local/share/examples/jags/.
