Appreciate if you can send solution to me directly as well. While browsing MathSource at the Mathematica web site (www.wolfram.com) today, I happened come across a package that may be what you're after. The package for Mathematica version 3.x is NDelayDSolve.m and can be found in MathSource as Enhancements/Numerical/0209-102. I hope this is useful to you. Cheers, Bill
