Octave.app 64-bit?

[Murray Eisenberg]

I asked the question because EtreCheck Pro reports /Applications/MacPorts/Octave.app to be 32-bit. On the other hand, macOS System
 Information > Software does not list octave at all, either as 32-bit or as 64-bit!

Command

port -v installed octave

does show archs='x86_64' but it was unclear to me whether that applies to the octave.app front end to the octave engine.
