3. Finding all your 32-bit applications before converting to Catalina

Fyi you can also find all your 32-bit applications using just built-in software from Apple, using the 'System Report' of About-this-Mac.

1) Launch About This Mac (in the main Apple-Menu)
2) Hit "System Report" to generate a report of your machine
3) Click on "Applications" in the "Software" section of the report
4) Click on the column labled "64-Bit (Intel)"

All of your applications that are 64-bit will be labeled "Yes" and all the ones that are just 32-bit will be labeled "No".

Clicking on an individual program will show where in the filesystem the executable lives. Not all of them will be in /Applications, expect to find some in printer drivers (etc.).
