    They're synonymous.  The underscore variant exists because some
software likes that better, as you noted.  The same idea exists in
plenty of places.  For example, in a popular Linux distribution,
although the company was named "Red Hat Software", the directory on
the CD was "RedHat".  ;-)

  Although I do like the idea of calling it "70"... ;-)
