Hi Seb,

thanks for pointing out daspk max index, I wasn't aware. it spared a lot of
headache. 

indeed, for some obscure reason I was convinced that the option "maximum
order" was actually "maximum index"... -.-

I don't know why DAE solvers index capabilities are not reported in Octave
manual. Matlab at least tells you that you can go no further than index 1
(at least without doing some "magic"...)

about the paper you cited, yup, I'm aware of it and I agree, it is quite
nice. 

Well, at least I'll gave it a try, I think that for DAE problems I'll move
to openModelica

Cheers,

Marco
