This is not true. Since nmap-3.40+, it supports "version scan" which
does something similar to Amap. The main difference is that Amap is
more "protocol oriented" (and lists all matching protocols) and Nmap
version scan is "software version" oriented (and lists first match
only). I usually use Amap only when nmap -sV fails (for example, on
some UDP protocols).
