 To save the "solutions" i.e. the point estimates of location parameters, you need one or two options in the parameter file.
 The behavior is common to the latest version of GIBBS2F90/GIBBS3F90/THRGIBBS1F90/GIBBSF90TEST.
+Please use either of the following options.
-To save the posterior mean and SD of specific effects, use either of the following options.
+   * Simultaneous sampling with variance components:
-   * Simultaneous estimate With variance components:
       * ''OPTION solution [effects..]''
-   * Compute the "solutions" only with fixed variance components:
+   * Compute the "solutions" with fixed variance components i.e., no (co)variance estimation:
       * ''OPTION fixed_var [effects..]''
-For example, you save the effect numbers 1, 3, and 4, use ''OPTION solution 1 3 4''.
+For example, you save the posterior mean and SD for 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.
 There are other options to save *all* the solutions in all rounds: ''OPTION solution all'' or ''OPTION fixed_var all''.
 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.
+Do not use these options unless you really want to have all the solutions for all rounds and/or you already know the number of burn-in samples.
