Morse Runner is a Windows-based contest simulator developed by Alex Shovkoplyas, VE3NEA. Using Wineskin, it has been successfully and seamlessly run under OSX, and made available here for download. Sure, you could use Wineskin to do this yourself (and save me some bandwidth), or you can pull the ready-made dmg from here.

StegSpy scans image files (primarily BMP and JPEG) and attempts to identify the signature of known steganography software. It does not "break" or extract the hidden data, but it answers a critical question: "Has this image been tampered with using steganography?"

MANY reports that it DOES NOT work on Catalina. It is very unlikely that it will work under Catalina in the near future, as it would require some pretty hefty development on Wine (they're working on it). The only other option I see is for some nice macOS developer to take the original code (it's open source!) and re-write it to run natively on 64bit macOS (go ask any developer, this is a lot of work). Since Xcode is now free if you're running Catalina, I'm happy to give it a try... when I can afford to buy a system that can run Catalina :)
