  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>    I've been rather curious about IRCServices' irc_stricmp function. What
  35 </I>&gt;<i>does it do that the regular stricmp() doesn't, and could it be replaced
  36 </I>&gt;<i>safely with stricmp?
  37 </I>
  38      (1) stricmp() is (potentially) locale-dependent, and could conceivably
  39 behave incorrectly in certain locales.
  40
  41      (2) RFC1459-compliant ircds treat [ and {, \ and |, ] and } as
  42 pairwise equivalent; stricmp() doesn't.
