*     November 2006
*
*     .. Scalar Arguments ..
      CHARACTER CA,CB
*     ..
*
*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  LSAME returns .TRUE. if CA is the same letter as CB regardless of
*  case.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  CA      (input) CHARACTER*1
*
*  CB      (input) CHARACTER*1
*          CA and CB specify the single characters to be compared.

*     Test if the characters are equal
*
      LSAME = CA .EQ. CB
      IF (LSAME) RETURN
*
*     Now test for equivalence if both characters are alphabetic.
*
      ZCODE = ICHAR('Z')
*
*     Use 'Z' rather than 'A' so that ASCII can be detected on Prime
*     machines, on which ICHAR returns a value with bit 8 set.
*     ICHAR('A') on Prime machines returns 193 which is the same as
*     ICHAR('A') on an EBCDIC machine.

*        ASCII is assumed - ZCODE is the ASCII code of either lower or

*
      ELSE IF (ZCODE.EQ.218 .OR. ZCODE.EQ.250) THEN
*
*        ASCII is assumed, on Prime machines - ZCODE is the ASCII code
*        plus 128 of either lower or upper case 'Z'.
*
