 Thanks for your reply!

 Yes, in a way - but the parameters of the Weibull must change after 
 each event. I'm trying to simulate events that can happen multiple times 
 thru the life of an individual and where the hazard rate is age 
 dependent according to a Weibull hazard. Hence, after the first event 
 has occurred at time t1 the hazard rate should be h(x; t1, shape,scale) 
 = (shape/scale)*((x-t1)/scale)^(shape-1). This doesn't seem trivial to 
 do using 'rweibull' - but perhaps I'm missing something (trivial).

 Cheers,

 Torbjørn
