Heh - yes I perhaps should have taken the opportunity to mention that...

32-bit support on Mac is very very near being terminated (it would seem) 
- whilst 32-bit apps
do still run in 10.14, they've made it virtually impossible to switch an 
app
which has both slices to run in 32-bit mode, and (perhaps worse) almost 
impossible
to switch an app which was previously marked to run in 32-bit mode back 
to running
in 64-bit mode!

So - probably best to ensure that any apps which need to run on Mojave 
and future
macOS versions are built and work in 64-bit mode.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
