[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1843062, member: 396914"] The reason I suspect that there is software on the disk is the way Strong's is organized. You first look up a word in English, find the verse in which it is used and get a reference to where the word from which the English was translated, either Hebrew, Chaldean, or Greek, and then look up that reference to get the full explanation of that word for all of the nuances of it. So, for example, in 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 17 says, "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air." If you look in Strong's for the word "caught" you find it, then look for the cross reference for that word in that verse and get a pointer to item 726 in the Greek section. Item 726 in the Greek section is [I]ηαρπαζο[/I] transliterated as [I]harpazo[/I], and has nuances of being caught up, or away, or plucked or pulled or taken by force. So those nuances help the Bible student get a better feeling for what St. Paul was telling the Thessalonians. What I suspect the software does is let the user search for an English word, pick the verse from which that word is being taken and then shows the Greek, Chaldean, or Hebrew original text with the definitions for that word. Otherwise the CD would be just files of words that required extensive searching to piece it together, much like what has to be done with the book version of the concordance. So if that software is set to run automatically when the disk is inserted and it's only 32 bit, then it will fail under Catalina. For the OP the options are now limited. It is challenging to back up from Catalina to Mojave because of what is done to the drive structure under Catalina. I suppose he could look to see if he can create a virtual system running Mojave for this application, or maybe a Windows system via Bootcamp or a virtual machine, but those are awkward when all he wants is to be able to put the CD in the drive and get what he needs. I would also suspect that if he contacted the publisher of the book about the CD that the answer would be that a Mac version for Catalina is not available yet, although he might get lucky with that path. It's certainly worth trying before going any other route. Let's hope the CD is upside down. That's the best alternative! [/QUOTE]
