Hello Frank,
 In a message dated 20 Apr 96 you wrote to Paul Edwards :

 FA> strcmp("hello","hello");  hardly FALSE, but it is 0.

strcmp does not return a boolean value.  It does not compare the strings
for identity or not, it gives an output to tell you whether one string is
alphabetically before the other string.  It uses negative and positive
numbers for position, and it just happens that zero is all that's left to
tell you that they are at the same place alphabetically.

Since the function is not specified as returning a boolean value then you
can't expect a boolean value out of it.  What you want is:

int franks_strcmp(char *s1, char *s2)
{
  int i;

  for (i=0;i * Origin: It's rude to Point (3:640/452.35{at}fidonet)
