Thanks for that Alan, will do that and see what I am exposed to if I
consider a Catalina update.

32 bit apps will not work on Catalina.  Catalina essentially ignores
any 32 bit app if you leave them installed before upgrading.
Easiest way to check for 32 bit apps installed is to run an app called
“32bit Check” by Howard Oakley and is available to download from
his website eclecticlight.co [1]

You or others may know the answer to this one, are apps installed on
OSX machines running Catalina, subject in the same way to 32bit V
64bit compatibility? I presume so but keen to hear from others if they
have any wisdom on this.

 I have just struck another obstacle because my computer does not have
facial identification. I wanted to buy a certain game app from the app
store. I can only provide a thumb print, so no new game for me.

Hi Pat, I note that you have started a new thread "Bad Catalina" which
breaks the continuity from the previous "Horrible Catalina" thread.
But either way on the topic of apps in Catalina, I note a bit of
trouble others experiencing there too. 

You or others may know the answer to this one, are apps installed on
OSX machines running Catalina, subject in the same way to 32bit V
64bit compatibility? I presume so but keen to hear from others if they
have any wisdom on this.
