Canon software no longer works after upgrade from Mohave to Catalina

My Canon supplied camera software no longer works on my MacBook Pro after upgrade from Mohave OS to Catalina OS v10.15. That's including the EOS Utility, CameraWindow, Style Editor and Digital Photo Professional.
Apple Support says the Mohave was the last Operating System to still be compatible with 32-bit apps. Apple's MAC OS Catalina version is only compatible with 64-bit apps.

I need to find out if my Canon software is 32-bit, and if so, that would explain the problem. If so, will Canon provide downloads of the 64-bit software? If not, what is the solution to open RAW files from my 5DMIII and I guess I'll have to use an alternative software like Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperature?

I was a beta tester (5 years) for a large software maker and I can confidently say 80% of the problems came from Apple (Mac) users.

That fact and the fact all Apple (Mac) computers are more expensive, sometime twice as much as a PC, why does anybody use them. Well most peopel don't.

I personally have no preference because once the software runs, there isn't any real difference that I can tell.


I have been holding back from pointing that out.  But, it is true.  The Apple OS is so user friendly that it does not require much computer know-how to use.  The end result is people who are stumped by a rotary dial telephone.
