Apparently nc != netcat<br>They do the same thing, but they're two separate code bases (with different licenses I think).<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 12:02 AM, Matthew Fillpot <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mfilpot@gmail.com" target="_blank">mfilpot@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>I checked my local mirror and nc 1.10 is in slackware-13.0,<br>
slackware64-13.0, slackware-current and slackware64-current. I was<br>
wondering the same thing, why <a href="http://slackbuilds.org" target="_blank">slackbuilds.org</a> is housing another build<br>
of an included package.<br>
