MARK is composed of a Windows interface and a FORTRAN program MARK.EXE. RMark can only use the FORTRAN code. It is not well known but some aspects of MARK like MCMC are implemented in the Windows interface and are not available to RMark. This post should be in the MARK software problems sub-forum.

I emailed Gary and it turns out I was wrong about MCMC. It is implemented in the FORTRAN code but apparently there are several screens of information that need to be completed. No promises but I may look into it. I can see how you might think that RMark would handle it because of the function create.mark.mcmc which I included to help pass MCMC results to coda package.

Thanks Jeff. Any ideas to access them would be helpful. Dealing with a reviewer that wants to see chain values.
