We don't really know why the original question was posed, and I would venture the reason was somebody couldn't bother with ... But having a reasonably-good C source is useful for those situations in which strcmp is not quite what you want. You may want to fold upper and lower case letters. Maybe skip over white space. Maybe only match the first string with the leading substring of the second. And so forth. So having a basic source which you can modify for your particular application is handy. -- Robert J.
