Hi Richard,

a) try to call addtwo.exe with the full path i. e.
lnk=Install["c:/Programs/Wolfram
Research/Mathematica/3.0/AddOns/MathLink/Examples/addtwo/addtwo.exe"]

b) it is a bit strange to simulate the data, write it to a file and let
Mathematica read the file.
   Say you have the data in a array  u of doubles (1 D) and your
simulation makes n steps.
  With

  MLPutFunction(stdlink,"List",n);
  for(i=0; i<n; i++) {
    ..do one time step ..
    MLPutRealList(stdlink,u,LengthOfU);
  }

will avoid the writing & reading the file.

Hope that helps
  Jens
