  *  Purpose\n\
  *  =======\n\
  *\n\
  *  LSAMEN  tests if the first N letters of CA are the same as the\n\
  *  first N letters of CB, regardless of case.\n\
  *  LSAMEN returns .TRUE. if CA and CB are equivalent except for case\n\
  *  and .FALSE. otherwise.  LSAMEN also returns .FALSE. if LEN( CA )\n\
  *  or LEN( CB ) is less than N.\n\
  *\n\n\
  *  Arguments\n\
  *  =========\n\
  *\n\
  *  N       (input) INTEGER\n\
  *          The number of characters in CA and CB to be compared.\n\
  *\n\
  *  CA      (input) CHARACTER*(*)\n\
  *  CB      (input) CHARACTER*(*)\n\
  *          CA and CB specify two character strings of length at least N.\n\
  *          Only the first N characters of each string will be accessed.\n\
