    to see if they have the same length and contents. Uppercase and
    lowercase characters are not considered equal.

    The values returned by STR$COMPARE and the conditions to which
    they translate are as follows:

    0             The length and the contents of first-source-string
                  are equal to the length and contents of second-
                  source-string.
    1             Either the length of first-source-string is not
                  equal to the length of second-source-string, or the
                  contents of first-source-string are not equal to
                  the contents of second-source-string, or both.
