We will soon be sending out an announcement about future BUGS plans,
but here's a few comments.
> I heard that a new version of the text-based BUGS is in the works.
yes, WinBUGS 1.4 will have a batch-mode facility, running off commands
very similar to Classic BUGS.
> Will WinBUGS and BUGS have the same underlying engine such that given the

Not yet, they have different architectures and are in different languages.
Our aim instead is to have a UNIX-based WinBUGS, but this will not be
immediately available.
