Risc-V and Risc5 are not the same cpu

[Kirtai]

Just a quick note to mention that Risc5 is a CPU developed by Niklaus Wirth for Project Oberon. It's not the same as the Risc-V CPU architecture.

Not that it's likely to confuse people other than unusual hardware nerds like myself but it would be nice to use Risc-V in all places. :)

I find "5" shorter to spell and less confusing than "-V". Also, no Mayan numerals on my keyboard! ;^) Note that the PowerLang and RISCy code is waaaaaayyy pre-alpha! Just getting the bits together. Check back next year sometime.. Cheers, -KenD

No worries, I just thought I'd mention it since it did confuse me on first sight. But then again, I am one of those people who are fascinated by unusual and obscure hardware. :)
