R help - Apr 2003 - R capabilities: Bayesian estimation, Covariance Structure Analysis

I'm contemplating doing Bayesian estimation in R but am wondering how
Bayesian estimation on R stacks up against BUGS.  Is R reasonably complete,
more difficult to use,...?  Anyone care to share their experience?

Also, am I right to conclude that covariance structure analysis &
confirmatory factor analysis are not available in R?  (I can't find them
with help)

I believe that the sem package does these.  In general, a lot of
things are in contributed packages, so "help" is not the way to
find out about R's ultimate capabilities.

My site (below) lets you search the packages as well as the
r-help news.
