DESCRIPTION
     XmStringCompare  returns a Boolean value indicating the results of a seman-
     tically equivalent comparison of two compound strings.

     Semantically equivalent means that the strings have the  same  text  compo-
     nents,  font list element tags, directions, and separators.  In general, if
     two compound strings are created with the same (char *)  string  using  Xm-
     StringCreateLocalized  in  the  same  language  environment,  the  compound
     strings compare as equal.  If two compound strings  are  created  with  the
     same  (char  *)  string  and  the same font list element tag other than Xm-
     FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG using XmStringCreate, the strings compare as equal.


     s1     Specifies a compound string to be compared with s2

     s2     Specifies a compound string to be compared with s1


RETURN VALUE
     Returns True if two compound strings are equivalent.
