My Mac crashes with "unimplemented trap error" when launching Bolo... wtf?

Bolo Long FAQ
Make sure you download version 0.99.7 which fixes that bug. If that still crashes, you probably have some strange extension/INIT that is conflicting with Bolo. Try using Macsbug, a debugger that catches such crashes and allows you to resume without rebooting. Download Macsbug, uncompress it, put it in the top level of your System Folder, and restart. Next time you crash, hit command-g and hopefully you'll be able to resume.

What is the "Duplicate Key Error"?

Customer Support -- FAQ
In the past we found that the duplicate key errors occurred about the time of where the data was upgraded from one version of MYM DOS to the next version of MYM DOS. Then these errors were carried forward into MYM Windows. Does that sound possible for your situation. Generally these duplicates are far enough apart in date order, that the transactions splits are not affected. For that reason we added a processing option to MYM2QIFW called "Primary Indexes - Not Unique".

Why does the Installer bomb with an unimplemented trap error when I try to install to my 2GB disk?

The first option might be the better way to go on this one, however. mentioned in the upgrading section of the INSTALL doc, you need to edit the file /etc/rc.
