G'day Frank

 PC> Whats wrong with if(strcmp("bla","bla") == 0)
dothat(); in both

 PC> CALL  strcmp
 PC> CMP   AX, 0

If you mean VB/WIN maybe compiler is not the word to use here.

 FA> Btw, basic does have it's strcmp like function now, with a nice

"is" both of

This must have been added in VB4 as i can't remember ever seeing it in
VB3, my example applied more to QB45/BAS-7 than to the Win versions of
basic.
