Vijay,

There was a discussion thread on this very topic of non-integer
timesteps back in April:

 http://www.swarm.org/pipermail/modelling/2005-April/thread.html#3700

Also, you might want to search the mailing list archives via Google
(use "site:www.swarm.org keyword1 keyword2") as the question has come
up before on this list.

Cheers,
Alex
