/***
*int strncmp(first, last, count) - compare first count chars of strings
*
*Purpose:
* Compares two strings for lexical order. The comparison stops
* after: (1) a difference between the strings is found, (2) the end
* of the strings is reached, or (3) count characters have been
* compared.
*
*Entry:
* char *first, *last - strings to compare
* unsigned count - maximum number of characters to compare
*
*Exit:
* returns <0 if first < last
* returns 0 if first == last
* returns >0 if first > last
*
*Exceptions:
*
