That's just a part of the long history of development:
. type http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/c/catplot.ado
*! 2.0.0 NJC 28 May 2010
*! 1.1.2 NJC 11 February 2004
* 1.1.1 NJC 2 February 2004
* 1.1.0 NJC 8 January 2004
* 1.0.1 NJC 29 April 2003
* 1.0.0 NJC 18 February 2003

-which- will show you the command Stata will use, the first found
along the paths in your -sysdir-. But the programmers can make -which-
provide you with more information with the *! combination. The
tradition is to have all the author and version info on the first
line, but Nick Cox decided to step away from that tradition and give
more lines with the previous versions. If you want a more freaky
output from -which-, you can even put an ASCII picture there with
those prefixes (oh those romantic days of 2400 bod communication :)).
