Hello,

yesterday I noticed in my code several instructions:
String s1, s2;
strcmp(s1, s2);

I used it when I ported in U++ the old C code and was unaware of the method CompareNoCase(). The question is: strcmp() maybe armful with String? Are there case in which the operation can produce the crash? Anyway I'm going to substitute it.

Actually, it is more or less harmless and String is designed to work this way, as it has conversion operator to const char * (this is BTW a big difference from std::string too). You can use String everywhere const char* is required.
