- -- Abstract :
- -- Article 219 of comp.sources.misc:
- --
- -- This posting contains a package for string-comparisons in a
- -- fairly sophisticated way where regard to accents, non-letters and case
- -- is only taken if necessary.
- -- The user defines how each character should be sorted, whether
- -- if it is a letter, and whether it is a variant of another letter. See
- -- READ.ME [STRCOMP.DOC] for complete description.
- -- The purpose is not to provide a facility, though, rather to
- -- demonstrate the idea. The code is in Ada.
- -- Comments and questions are welcome to:
