I have the exact same problem.  As a matter a fact, every one who uses it has
yet to get it to work, (so far).  Its a code error, sorry, nothing you can
really do but hope someone comes out and fixes it. (Namely the next
bug-free
version).

Okay, i did a quick check with easy errors and type 90 means that the 
instruction that was given requires you to have an fpu.  

I suggest you get Software FPU from an archive and try again.

I don't know if this is your problem, maybe i'm a moron, who really cares?

Ohh, by the way, can you tell me were you got that program?

I'm a bit lost here and I have the same problem before and someone said 
it is a bug in the program. This FPU program, what is it? FPU, is it 
stands for Floating Point Unit? You mean it's required to have a program 
to run the FPU in the Mac? More info please...many many thanks.
