what's the binary name for your SQLPlus & SQLLoader?

It seems to me that Oracle names their utilities differently on NT based on the version number. For example, SQLPlus has been named plus33, plus33w, sqlplus and SQL*Loader is called sqlldr73 in our NT environment. This makes it very difficult for us to distribute software that needs to use those utilities accross platforms and versions. I thought Oracle has been emphasizing their database's portability and I failed to understand why this name inconsistency happened.

I think SQL*Loader and SQL*Plus are called sqlload and sqlplus on all unix platforms
(correct me if I am wrong). Can someone give a hint as to what's the standard
(or is there any) names for sqlplus and sqlloader on NT platforms?
Thanks,
