please be sure to use the latest DocFetcher version (currently 1.1.26), and use the non-portable version rather than the portable one, as the former is easier to get running. After mounting the disk image, you'll find a readme inside with more instructions.

Hi. thanks for that prompt reply. I have downloaded the latest non portable version and printed some of the help pages. One says make sure permissions apply to the docfetcher folder. I would if I could find it. I think the problem is associated with those stupid Apke permissions
.

Ignore the help pages, they're out of date. Follow the instructions in the Readme.txt file that pertain to macOS non-portable:
After mounting and opening the disk image (the .dmg file), move the DocFetcher
application bundle to a location of your choice. Usually, this would be your
Applications folder, but any folder for which you have write permissions will
do.
Do not move the application bundle on top of an existing DocFetcher application
bundle. This will get program files mixed up, potentially causing abnormal
program behavior.
To start DocFetcher, double-click the application bundle.
