Comparing strings...

[Gregory M. Stelmack]

One reason why you might want your own code is if you need a specific string
comparison that your library does not have. Including specific string
comparison functions may make your code non-portable, as it did with a chunk
of code I wrote. SAS/C for the Amiga has a nice stricmp() function which does
case-insensitive comparisons (A==a). A friend of mine had it bomb on compile
with Manx, and had to change this call to another. So, I wrote my own string
compare to do what I want.

Just had to show a situation in which you may want your own code...
