I just tried to run the mac version on Catalina, but needed to do the "chmod +x" trick (see https://superuser.com/questions/898124/the-application-someapp-app-can-t-be-open...).

Could you (or anyone) run a non-programmer through this?

It's quite easy. Download the app and unpack it - you should have a Ethereal.app file in your Downloads Folder now.

Then open a Terminal (you can find it in "Applications") and type:

cd Downloads

chmod +x ETHEREAL.app/Contents/MacOS/ETHEREAL

After that, you can click the "ETHEREAL.app" in the Finder and it should start normally.

Clear and concise tech instructions are so rare. Game's up and running and I can't thank you enough.
