^= is the symbol for "not equal". I always use <> because I've noticed
that it is available on all REXX variants, including Regina and the <
and > symbols appear on all Latin keyboards, regardless of other symbols
used by other countries. Also, the code points for < and > are always
the same, regardless of the locale. Just more portable, IMO.
