eqs (equal_string) -- Compare strings for equality.
usage: eqs [string1 [string2]]



DESCRIPTION
     eqs compares strings for equality, and sets the abort-severity level
     accordingly.

ARGUMENTS
     If no arguments are specified, eqs always returns true.

     string1 (optional)
                    Specify text string to test.  If this is the only string
                    given (that is, string2 is not specified), return true if
                    string1 is empty; otherwise return false.

                    Default if omitted:  return true

     string2 (optional)
                    Specify text string to compare against string1.  eqs
                    returns true if the strings are equal; false if they are
                    not.

                    Default if omitted:  test string1 only

EXAMPLES
     The following shell script compiles the Pascal module named by the first
     argument ^1 if the second argument ^2 is -c.  Then it binds the module
     with library.

     if eqs ^2 '-c' then pas ^1 endif
     bind ^1.bin library -b ^1

     If the second argument is not -c, or if there is no second argument, the
     program simply binds the module.
