SMcNeill 6e01fc8dce Altered string compare routines (<,<=,>,>=) so they don't give false results with CHR$(0).
Added new _STRCMP and _STRICMP commands for quick string comparisons.
Cleaned up QB64 to finish removing the QUI (quick user insert) code and folders.
Altered UCASE and LCASE routines to be faster in some situations for us.

The {{KW|OCT$}} function returns the base 8 octal representation of an [[INTEGER]], [[LONG]] or [[_INTEGER64]] value as a [[STRING]].
{{PageSyntax}}
:''result$'' = {{KW|OCT$}}({{Parameter|number}})
{{PageDescription}}
* The {{KW|OCT$}} function returns the octal (base-8) representation of {{Parameter|number}}.
* {{Parameter|number}} can be any integer value.
* No leading space is returned.
* [[VAL]] can convert octal string values to decimal when the &quot;&amp;O&quot; prefix is added.
Example:'' Outputs all of the decimal, hexadecimal and octal digits:
{{CodeStart}}
LOCATE 2, 20: PRINT &quot; Decimal | Hexadecimal | Octal &quot;
LOCATE 3, 20: PRINT &quot;---------+-------------+-------&quot;
template$ = &quot; ## | \\ | ## &quot;
FOR n% = 0 TO 15
LOCATE 4 + n%, 20: {{Cl|PRINT USING}} template$; n%; {{Cl|HEX$}}(n%); VAL({{Cl|OCT$}}(n%))
NEXT n%
{{CodeEnd}}
: ''Note:'' The actual Octal value is converted by [[VAL]] directly back to a numerical value by '''not using''' the &quot;&amp;H&quot; prefix.
