 stricmp()               Compare Two Strings, Case Insensitive

 #include   <string.h>                   Required for declarations only

 int        stricmp(string1,string2);
 const char *string1;                    First string
 const char *string2;                    Second string

    stricmp() compares 'string1' and 'string2' lexicographically ( 'a' is
    less than 'b', 'b' is equal to 'b', and 'c' is greater than 'b').
    stricmp() is case-insensitive, so 'a' is equal to 'A'.

       Returns:     A value indicating the relationship between the two
                    strings:

                          Comparison          Returned
                    'string1' <  'string2'      < 0
                    'string1' == 'string2'        0
                    'string1' >  'string2'      > 0

         Notes:     stricmp() is identical to strcmpi()(used with other
                    compilers).

                    stricmp() expects to operate on null-terminated
                    strings.  No overflow checking is done when strings
                    are copied or appended.

   -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    In this example, the two strings compared are equivalent.

           #include <string.h>
           #include <stdio.h>

           char str1[25] = "a quick brown fox";
           char str2[25] = "A Quick Brown Fox";
           int rslt;

           main()
           {
               rslt = stricmp(str1,str2);
               if (rslt == 0)
                  printf("strings are identical");
               else
                  printf("strings do not match");
           }
