function Equals(Obj: TObject) : Boolean;  override;  overload; overload;

function Equals(TheStrings: TStrings) : Boolean;  overload; overload;

    Description

    Equals compares the contents of the stringlist with the contents of TheStrings. If the contents match, i.e. the stringlist contain an equal amount of strings, and all strings match, then True is returned. If the number of strings in the lists is unequal, or they contain one or more different strings, False is returned.

    Remark:

    1. The strings are compared case-insensitively.
    2. The associated objects are not compared
