Synopsis:
    #include <string.h>
    int stricmp( const char *s1, const char *s2 );
    int _fstricmp( const char __far *s1,
                   const char __far *s2 );

Description:
    The stricmp and _fstricmp functions compare, with case insensitivity,
    the string pointed to by s1 to the string pointed to by s2.  All
    uppercase characters from s1 and s2 are mapped to lowercase for the
    purposes of doing the comparison.

    The _fstricmp function is a data model independent form of the stricmp
    function that accepts far pointer arguments.  It is most useful in mixed
    memory model applications.

Returns:
    The stricmp and _fstricmp functions return an integer less than, equal
    to, or greater than zero, indicating that the string pointed to by s1 is
    less than, equal to, or greater than the string pointed to by s2.

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

    void main()
      {
        printf( "%d\n", stricmp( "AbCDEF", "abcdef" ) );
        printf( "%d\n", stricmp( "abcdef", "ABC"    ) );
        printf( "%d\n", stricmp( "abc",    "ABCdef" ) );
        printf( "%d\n", stricmp( "Abcdef", "mnopqr" ) );
        printf( "%d\n", stricmp( "Mnopqr", "abcdef" ) );
      }

    produces the following:

    0
    100
    -100
    -12
    12
