non-gaussian option pricing(Lisa Borland)

Hi, Has anyone tried finding option prices by simulation of the non-gaussian model with skew(dS=rSdt+sigma*(S^alpha)(S0^1-alpha)domega,domega=(P(omega))^1-q*dz..I'm getting strange things...and I'm not sure if this is because of the starting point of the simulation..any help?[
