+/*
+	Function: str_comp_nocase_num
+		Compares up to num characters of two strings case insensitive.
+
+	Parameters:
+		a - String to compare.
+		b - String to compare.
+		num - Maximum characters to compare
+
+	Returns:
+		<0 - String a is lesser than string b
+		0 - String a is equal to string b
+		>0 - String a is greater than string b
+
+	Remarks:
+		- Only garanted to work with a-z/A-Z.
+		- The strings are treated as zero-termineted strings.
