* 05-31-89 JCR C version created.
* 02-27-90 GJF Fixed calling type, #include <cruntime.h>, fixed

* 04-01-91 SRW Add #pragma function for i386 _WIN32_ and _CRUISER_
* builds
* 10-11-91 GJF Bug fix! Comparison of final bytes must use unsigned

/***
*strcmp - compare two strings, returning less than, equal to, or greater than
*
*Purpose:
* STRCMP compares two strings and returns an integer
* to indicate whether the first is less than the second, the two are
* equal, or whether the first is greater than the second.
*
* Comparison is done byte by byte on an UNSIGNED basis, which is to
* say that Null (0) is less than any other character (1-255).
*
*Entry:
* const char * src - string for left-hand side of comparison
* const char * dst - string for right-hand side of comparison
*
*Exit:
* returns -1 if src < dst
* returns 0 if src == dst
* returns +1 if src > dst
*
*Exceptions:
