  22 /*  FUNCTION
  23         Calculate s1 - s2 for the n bytes after s1 and s2 and stop when
  24         the difference is not 0.
  25
  26     INPUTS
  27         s1, s2 - Begin of the memory areas to compare
  28         n - The number of bytes to compare
  29
  30     RESULT
  31         The difference of the memory areas. The difference is 0, if both
  32         are equal, < 0 if s1 < s2 and > 0 if s1 > s2. Note that it may be
  33         greater then 1 or less than -1.

  35     NOTES
  36         This function is not part of a library and may thus be called
  37         any time.
