Just for kicks today, I tried running Houdini 6.03 x32 ( windows) under the HIARCS MacOS Explorer and it worked! Here's it's playing a 32 bit version of McCain-X4 (Windows). Although I have often tried running w32 engines in the past ( about once a year) , I only had somewhat spotty success under the terminal app using wine.

This is two windows 32 bit apps playing against each other under the macOS HIARCS Explorer app.
For what's it worth, I also tried it under the xBoard app , but I believe the the uci polyglot adaptor introduced additional complexities which I was unable to hurdle.
