Default String Comparison

Hi...
I want to perform a comparison on two string expressions. The strings would
normally be of the form "ABC Systems Limited" or "ABC Systems LTD". Now if I
were to compare these two strings, I want the macro to return true even if
the last part of the strings dont match exactly, i.e. Limited and LTD. In
simpler words, it should return true for two strings expressions containing
abbreviations like LTD( Limited), Hlgds( Holdings) etc. Can anyone please
help me with this?
