According to WinBUGS14 documentation BackBUGS does this, but I think it
assumes that script is in the same place as BackBUGS or WinBUGS binary
is located. This can be a bit strict as one might not have write acces
in that map. I did not find any equivalent in OpenBUGS. Anyone with
skills to write Mac OS X specific script?

Any comments on my previous questions about figuring out why DarWINE and
CrossOver start automagically?
