    *  Purpose
    *  =======
    *
    *  LSAME returns .TRUE. if CA is the same letter as CB regardless of
    *  case.
    *
    *  Arguments
    *  =========
    *
    *  CA      (input) CHARACTER*1
    *  CB      (input) CHARACTER*1
    *          CA and CB specify the single characters to be compared.
