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