{
{   The purpose  of  this  request  is  to compare two permanent file paths to
{ determine if the two paths are equal, or if path A is above path B,  in  the
{ catalog  tree.   For example, if path A = DOG.CAT, and path B = DOG.CAT.FRED
{ then the result will be that A is not equal B, and A is above B.
{
{       PUP$COMPARE_PATHS (PATH_A, PATH_B, A_EQUALS_B, A_ABOVE_B)
{
{ PATH_A: (input) This describes the first permanent file path.
{
{ PATH_B: (input) This describes the second permanent file path.
{
{ A_EQUALS_B: (output) This returns whether the two paths are equal.
{
{ A_ABOVE_B: (output) This returns whether path A is above (that is parent  or
{       grandparent of) path B.
