I have two questions.  One pertaining to the installation of SoftPC and the
other to the installation of Mathematica.

1.  The SoftPC manual states that after running the installation program
there should be a "SoftPC.app" directory into which I copy the file
"bios2.rom".  After installing I get a "SoftPC.app" file NOT a directory.
I can't execute the file because it is looking for "bios2.rom".  What am I
doing wrong?

2.  When registering Mathematica the machine name (host name) is required.
I interpret this as the name I gave my computer.  What happens if I want to
change the name of my computer; will Mathematica still run?

Thanks for helping with my stupid questions.

Tom
