  21 /*  FUNCTION
  22         Calculate str1 - str2 ignoring case. Upto n characters are taken
  23         into account.
  24
  25     INPUTS
  26         str1, str2 - Strings to compare
  27
  28     RESULT
  29         The difference of the strings. The difference is 0, if both are
  30         equal, < 0 if str1 < str2 and > 0 if str1 > str2. Note that
  31         it may be greater then 1 or less than -1.
  32
  33     NOTES
  34         This function is not part of a library and may thus be called
  35         any time.
