     LGt(STRING_A, STRING_B)

LGt: `LOGICAL(KIND=1)' function.

STRING_A: `CHARACTER'; scalar; INTENT(IN).

STRING_B: `CHARACTER'; scalar; INTENT(IN).

Intrinsic groups: (standard FORTRAN 77).

Description:

   Returns `.TRUE.' if `STRING_A.GT.STRING_B', `.FALSE.' otherwise.
STRING_A and STRING_B are interpreted as containing ASCII character
codes.  If either value contains a character not in the ASCII character
set, the result is processor dependent.

   If the STRING_A and STRING_B are not the same length, the shorter is
compared as if spaces were appended to it to form a value that has the
same length as the longer.

   Note: LGe Intrinsic, for information on the distinction between
the `LGT' intrinsic and the `.GT.'  operator.
