That is not very intuitive from a BASIC coding standpoint is it?
In what situation would I care if one string is greater or less than the other?
I want to know if they are equal and would expect a true if they are.
BCX is a translator to c/c++ but it IS BASIC.
I guess I will use the new ?? for any case-insensitive string comparisons.
Good addition.

If everything was intuitive, there would be little need for schools, books, or HELP FILES. I know Robert is
updating the BCX Help file, so a little patience will go a long way. In fact, it was Robert who expressed
the need for bcx_stricmp to be made into a keyword. Although you may never use the BCX_STRICMP()
or ICOMPARE() functions directly, I know at least one person who will.
There are many things in BCX that I have never used and will likely never use. There are other things
in BCX that I use all the time. That's the nature of things. I am already using the new ?? operator in a
personal project. I have wanted that operator for a long time and after several failed attempts at
implementing it into BCX, I finally found an algorithm that works.
