Re: VW 9.3.1 on macOS

This sounds plausible to me. However, I would really appreciate a comment =
from the Cincom Engineers to this topic. Since VW runs in 64 Bit since =
Version 9, I imagine that they considered this in the last five years. =
Especially, since WV 8.x does not run on macOS since the release of =
Catalina in 2020.

Ciao, Steffen

puzzles me: I can run most of my 8.3 32-Bit images. Nice! However, loading =
a 64-Bit image crashes the VM. Though compatibility does not carry over to =
a new major version, this surprises me. I suspected, that the macOS version=
 of VW is all 64 Bit now. I actually expected that only the 64-Bit images =
will run. Can someone please shed some light on what is going on with =
32/64-Bit on macOS these days?
