        !            17: finds a pair of characters  that are not identical.  It returns a
        !            18: number less than zero if  the character in string1 is less (i.e.,
        !            19: occurs earlier  in the character  table) than its  counterpart in
        !            20: string2.  It returns a  number greater than zero if the character
        !            21: in string1 is greater (i.e., occurs later in the character table)
        !            22: than its  counterpart in string2.  If no  characters are found to
        !            23: differ, then the strings are identical and strcoll returns zero.

        !            31: The string-comparison routines  strcoll, strcmp, and strncmp dif-
        !            32: fer from  the memory-comparison routine memcmp  in that they com-
        !            33: pare strings rather than  regions of memory.  They stop when they
        !            34: encounter a null character, but memcmp does not.
        !            35: 
        !            36: The  ANSI Standard's  description of  strcoll emphasizes  that it
        !            37: uses  locale-specific information,  as set  by the  ANSI function
        !            38: setlocale,  to perform string  comparisons.  The  COHERENT system
        !            39: has not  yet implement ANSI locales;  therefore, strcoll does not
        !            40: differ  significantly from  strcmp.   It is  included to  support
        !            41: programs written in ANSI C.
