- Does anyone out there have a phonetic string comparison function, written in C
- (as opposed to C++) that they could let me have? The sort of thing I'm after is
- a means of identifying that for example, Smith, Smithe and Smythe are similar and
- Cat and Dog aren't. I imagine spell checkers do this sort of comparison all the time.
-
- All help will be gratefully accepted.

- TIA
