function [varargout] = strncmpi(varargin)
%STRNCMPI Compare first N characters of strings ignoring case.
%   STRNCMPI(S1,S2,N) returns logical 1 (true) if the first N characters 
%   of the strings S1 and S2 are the same except for case, and logical 0 
%   (false) otherwise.
%
%   TF = STRNCMPI(S,T,N), when either S or T is a cell array of strings,
%   returns an array the same size as S and T containing logical 1 (true) 
%   for those elements of S and T that match except for case (up to N 
%   characters), and logical 0 (false) otherwise.  S and T must be the 
%   same size (or one can be a scalar cell).  Either one can also be a 
%   character array with the right number of rows.
%
%   STRNCMPI supports international character sets.
