 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() performs a case-insensitive, lexicographic comparison of
    'string1' and 'string2' ( 'a' is less than 'b', 'b' is equal to 'b',
    and 'c' is greater than 'b' but, because stricmp() is
    case-insensitive, '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().

                stricmp() expects to operate on null-terminated strings.

 Portability:   stricmp() is a Microsoft extension to the ANSI standard;
                it should not ber used when ANSI compatibility is
                required.

   -------------------------------- 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");
           }
