NAME
	ParsePatternNoCase -- Create a tokenized string for
						MatchPatternNoCase() (V37)

   SYNOPSIS
	IsWild = ParsePatternNoCase(Source, Dest, DestLength)
	d0                            D1     D2      D3

	LONG ParsePatternNoCase(STRPTR, STRPTR, LONG)

   FUNCTION
	Tokenizes a pattern, for use by MatchPatternNoCase().  Also indicates
	if there are any wildcards in the pattern (i.e. whether it might match
	more than one item).  Note that Dest must be at least 2 times as
	large as Source plus 2 bytes.

	For a description of the wildcards, see ParsePattern().

   INPUTS
	source     - unparsed wildcard string to search for.
       dest       - output string, gets tokenized version of input.
	DestLength - length available in destination (should be at least as
		     twice as large as source + 2 bytes).

   RESULT
	IsWild - 1 means there were wildcards in the pattern,
		 0 means there were no wildcards in the pattern,
		-1 means there was a buffer overflow or other error

   BUGS
	In V37 this call didn't always set IoErr() to something useful on an
	error.  Fixed in V39.
	In V37, it didn't properly convert character-classes ([x-y]) to
	upper case.  Workaround: convert the input pattern to upper case
	using ToUpper() from utility.library before calling
	ParsePatternNoCase().  Fixed in V39 dos.
