How about Merlin 32-64 or 64-32?

C64, Bah humbug. This ain't no C64 group! :-)

Kidding aside, I didn't realize Glen Bredon wrote Merlin 8, Merlin 16, Merlin 64, and Merlin 128. That's actually good to know that as that might come in handy down the line. Thanks for the info!

Cheers
Michael

When I try to execute it, Apple puts up a dialog box saying “Merlin32” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software."

I downloaded the version listed at the bottom of the page that you linked to. Do I have the correct version? How do I tell?

I bet Catalina added new sand boxing rules. I’m still running Mojave but this type of error pops up all the time if you don’t get an app from the AppStore. You could try pressing ctrl before opening installer and clicking the open anyway prompt. Just make sure you trust the source 😀

Apple is blocking it because it's from an 'untrusted developer'.
Go to System Preferences --> Security & Privacy
Under the "General" tab there should be a box that says "Open Anyway"

Don't trust me, I am an unknown developer on modern Apple machines :-)

Should be, but isn't. At least, there wasn't when I was trying to use Merlin32 from the command line. But when I tried double-clicking the exec file from the Finder it failed the same way, but this time added the "Open Anyway" box.

So problem solved.

try dot slash so it's a relative path? I have to use that for ffmpeg.

cd /path/to/merlin
../merlin32 /path/to/file (etc)

you can also chmod merlin so that it's executable ?

That's what I was doing. The problem was that Apple didn't add the "Open Anyway" option when I executed Merlin32 from the command line. Double-clicking it in the Finder added the option, and now I can go back to the command line. It's an Apple bug.
