Re: EZproxy and MAC OS (Catalina)

Hi Robert,

I've personally upgraded to Catalina and have accessed resources through
EZproxy without issue. I've had no users complain about EZproxy problems on
the Catalina OS (at least not yet).

Andreas is right though. Catalina doesn't work with any local program
installed on computers that even partially relies on 32-bit. While EZproxy
is a 32-bit application (see link below), it can run on 64-bit servers and
resides on the server end anyway, not the local computer. End-user
computers are utilizing it through their 64-bit browsers, so its 32-bit
source doesn't impact Catalina.
