    If I had to guess, I would guess that "HP-PARC" was some cnfused typo
    for HP-PA. When PA-RISC first shipped back in 1987 or so, RISC was
    still thought to be, well, "risky" so it was decided to call it HP
    Precision Architecture (aka HP-PA). Once the world was comfortable
    with RISC, it was OK to start calling it PA-RISC.

    Or at least that is my recollection of the history before my arrival
    in '88.
