I thought so... I wasn't sure if I should expect a helpful response :)
Glad to see I'm too cynical about such things...

This is good to know but the code isn't optimised at all.

typedef struct{
	double rho,hz,m,m0,kp,kpt,ftr,kbb,kt11,alpha,lambda,td,
		t0,trp,time,kttrp;
}model_data;

typedef struct{
	double h;
}simulation_data;

main(){

	int pulse = 0;
	model_data mdata;
	simulation_data sdata;
	double h;

        mdata.time = 0;
        mdata.t0 = 0.1;
        sdata.h = 0.01;
        mdata.td = 1;

   do{

		if(mdata.time >= mdata.t0*pulse && mdata.t0*pulse <
mdata.time+sdata.h){
			pulse++;
		}

	h=sdata.h;
	if(sdata.h >= mdata.t0*pulse - mdata.time)h = mdata.t0*pulse -
mdata.time;

   	mdata.time += h;

   }while(mdata.time < mdata.td);
	return 0;
}

On my system the program hangs just before pulse = 6 but the debugger
says the condition to execute 'pulse++' is satisfied. Any ideas?
