Well there is this netcat; http://netcat.sf.net/netcat-0.7.1.tar.gz

which installs two commands; "nc" and "netcat".

and then there is this one;

http://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/netutils/netcat/nc-110.tgz

and uses the command "nc".

So I guess when the name collisions are fixed there would be no need for shoving "nc" into different directories when you have nc and netcat installed.

And then there is socat which can do a lot more, so why are we still talking about netcat...
