stricmp()                Compare Two Strings, Case Insensitive
 
 #include   <string.h>                   Required for declarations only
 
 int        stricmp(string1,string2);
 char       *string1;                    First string
 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; '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.
                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");
         }
