 To save the "solutions" i.e. the point estimates of location parameters, you need one or two options in the parameter file.
-The required options depend on the program you are using.
+The behavior is common to the latest version of GIBBS2F90/GIBBS3F90/THRGIBBS1F90/GIBBSF90TEST.
-Note that

+To save the posterior mean and SD of specific effects, use either of the following options.
-You need either of the following options.
+   * Simultaneous estimate With variance components:
-The solutions will be stored in ''final_solutions''.
-   * If you want to save all the solutions:
-      * ''OPTION solution all''
-   * If you want to save the solutions of specific effects.:
       * ''OPTION solution [effects..]''
-      * For example, you save the effect numbers 1, 3, and 4, use ''OPTION solution 1 3 4''.
+   * Compute the "solutions" only with fixed variance components:
-If you do not need to estimate variance components and just need the solutions with the fixed variances in the parameter file, you need either of the following options (they have the same effect as ''OPTION solution'', so you do not need it).
-The solutions will be stored in ''final_solutions''.
-   * If you want to save all the solutions:
-      * ''OPTION fixed_var all''
-   * If you want to save the solutions of specific effects:
       * ''OPTION fixed_var [effects..]''
-      * The usage is the same as ''OPTION solution''; see above for details.
-==== GIBBSF90TEST ====
+For example, you save the effect numbers 1, 3, and 4, use ''OPTION solution 1 3 4''.
+If you want to save all the effects, please enumerate all effect numbers.
-This program is still under development and testing.
+There are other options to save *all* the solutions in all rounds: ''OPTION solution all'' or ''OPTION fixed_var all''.
-The behavior will change version by version.
+It will create a huge file and will be very slow.
+Do not use these options unless you really want to have all the solutions for all rounds.
