I wondered about this too.  I generally check for the name before I build
something, which is how I found that "vc" already existed, so I built the
thing as "vcalc".  BUT, I notice that vc is /usr/ucb/vc - it probably
DOESN'T conflict on SYS V systems.  I still would have thought they'd
have checked before marketing it.
