HP and Hitachi have announced an agreement which begins
to license (licence) HP-PA.  This agreement is to target high end 
opportunities for HP-PA.  There should be close compatibility such 
that HP O/S's should be runnable on Hitachi computers.

In addition, a second HP-PA partnership was announced about the same
time.  Samsung and HP have signed a memorandum of understanding which
licenses HP-PA.  Included is agreements to look for low-end opportunities
for Samsung to exploit with HP-PA.  In this agreement, some
technology transfer of current and planned HP-PA CPU implementations can
be made.  Also included is some HP compiler code.

In both cases, close cooperation to further define the markets and the
opportunities is continuing. There is a commitment to provide strong
support to HP's technology partners.

Precision Architecture is branching out beyond HP!
