DJGPP provides us with strnicmp(), but when I tried to compile the source 
code on our AIX, I found out that it's gcc used strncasecmp(). What is 
the acceptable workaround for that?

I use a define now:
#ifdef UNIX
#define strnicmp strncasecmp 
#endif

But this still gives me a warning for the first appearance of
strncasecmp() and it is pretty cumbersome. The string.h header file
contains some #ifdef tests to check wether to provide strnicmp() or
strncasecmp() (something about POSIX etc. which I don't know) - what would
be the appropriate way for me to do it so that I don't have to edit my
makefile to insert the "-DUNIX"? 

Alex.
