In testers[1906], Richard noted that

Can anyone verify that RISC/6000 is the accepted term (and RS/6000 is not)?
I'm assuming Richard is right, but is there any way to check?  (what do the
IBM manuals say in their copyright pages?)

Anyway, if RISC/6000 is correct, the System Release Notes should be revised
for that.  (And before I pick them up for copying later today).  Also, we
should start using the appropriate term in general.


Also, should Richard be listed as an author or not?  Who makes that call?
(I don't have a clear sense how the Sys Notes get assembled...)
