The Curse of macOS Catalina strikes again as AccountEdge stays 32-bit
Summary
The macOS Catalina bad news train kept on rolling this week as AccountEdge, friend of the Apple-using beancounters, threw in the towel over the forced migration of Macs to a 64-bit world. Indeed, while Apples marketing puff for its latest OS cheerily proclaims: "With macOS Catalina, the apps you love are now more beautiful and intelligent than ever", Cooks gang strangely fails to add "unless its something you want to run a business with, in which case you can fsck off." While Acclivity had embarked on a "multi-year 64-bit upgrade project", "In the end, AccountEdges 30-year-old codebase proved too outdated to establish compatibility with Apples newest operating system," Visma said. Greybeards will recall a compatibility layer to ease the transition of code from classic macOS to OSX back in the day. If you have upgraded, then consider something like Parallels to run an older OS in a virtualised environment or perhaps dust off that old Mac thats been lurking in the corner and use that instead.
