Language Ccpp Cref Examples Strcmp.c

/ ******************************************************************
 *
 * Purpose: Program to demonstrate the use of strcmp.
 * Date:    05-Dec-96
 * Author:  M J Leslie.
 * Descrip: The standard strcmp returns 0 when the strings match 
 *          and indicates which string is lexigraphically greater.
 *          Every time I have used strcmp, I have never been interested
 *          in which string is greater and always frustrated that the 
 *          return code is inverted. This function tidys things up.
