[Macintosh Technical Notes - #178: Modifying the Standard String Comparison]
This technical note describes how to modify the standard string
comparison by constructing an itl2 resource. Developers may want
to modify the standard string comparison if Apple's comparison
doesn't meet their needs or if Apple has not written a string
comparison routine for the language that concerns them.
