17       LSAMEN  tests if the first N letters of CA are the same as the first  N
18       letters  of CB, regardless of case.  LSAMEN returns .TRUE. if CA and CB
19       are equivalent except for case  and  .FALSE.  otherwise.   LSAMEN  also
20       returns .FALSE. if LEN( CA ) or LEN( CB ) is less than N.

ARGUMENTS

23       N       (input) INTEGER
24               The number of characters in CA and CB to be compared.
25
26       CA      (input) CHARACTER*(*)
27               CB       (input)  CHARACTER*(*) CA and CB specify two character
28               strings of length at least N.  Only the first N  characters  of
