SYNOPSYS
       #include "mut.h"
       int naturalstrcmp(s, t)
       char *s, *t;

PARAMETERS
       s		   Pointer to the first string to compare

       t		   Pointer to the second string to compare

DESCRIPTION
       naturalstrcmp is an alphanumerical comparison function that ensures x12 > x2 for example.  First, the alphabetical part of  the	string	is
       compared, using strcmp(3), then, if it has trailing numbers, they are compared using a numerical function.

RETURN VALUES
       naturalstrcmp has the same return values than the standard library strcmp(3) function.

EXAMPLE
       #include "mut.h"
       static int
	  connectorcmp(flc, slc)
       locon_list **flc, **slc;
       {
	  return naturalstrcmp((*slc)->NAME, (*flc)->NAME);
       }

SEE ALSO
