Function:  integer strcmp( s1:string, s2:string l :integer) ;
  s1
         first string
  s2
         second string
  l
         amount of significant digits to compare
 returns
  -1
         if s1 < s2
  0
         if s1 = s2
  1
         if s1 > s2


This allows you to compare strings with case sensitivity in place and it
allows you to choose how much of the strings are compared.
example:

---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---
if (strcmp("Mark Carper",s2,4)==0))
        {
        sendtext ("Hi Mark how is it going?&n",self);
                quit;
        }


---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---
