Lion-end of Rosetta issues

How can I find out which of my Apps are running under Rosetta so I know what to expect if I upgrade to Lion? For example, I still use Eudora for my e-mail. Will it's last version 6.2.4 run in Lion? Also, how about FileMakerPro v.7? And Word v.X? Is there a list somewhere of software that will no longer be supported because there aren't native versions? There is some software I use that I don't want to have to shell out to upgrade if I can avoid it since the current versions I use have all the features I need. Is there a way I can monitor my system to find out what actually is running in Rosetta rather than native?

Thanks!
 
Make sure all the apps you are concerned about are running before you check.
Now fire up Activity Monitor and it will show you under "kind", look for 'Power PC'.
 
Look in Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Software > Applications. Look under the Kind column. If it says PowerPC, it is running under Rosetta.
