x86 Assembly: wcscmp Procedure

Use MASM for Visual C++ Express Edition 2005 to compile this procedure.

This procedure, wcscmp_asm, compares two wchar_t (16-bit) strings. See also wcsicmp_asm.

The return value is:
less than zero if wcs1 is less than wcs2
equal to zero if wcs1 is equal to wcs2
greater than zero if wcs1 is greater than wcs2
