Thanks for the reminder, I forgot about that after al these months
running Mojave.

7z, AudiobookBuilder, and a spurious copy of Lord of the Rings Online
on this machine. Oh, and the BetterZipQL addon. Interesting for LOTRO,
it is only the launcher that is 32 bit.

And even before Mojave it was very easy to list the 32 bit apps,
something that has been covered on this very newsgroups many times. I
believe I even posted a quick command line one liner that would spit out
all the 32 bit apps and their paths.
