Right.  Sadly, MSDN no longer even references things that old; from
reading it, you'd think that *nothing* existed prior to w2k, and *every*
current entry point was brand new with that version.

SetErrorMode:
Minimum Supported Client: Windows 2000 Professional

So it's no longer even possible to discover exactly HOW old an API is,
if it predates w2k.  At least, not via MSDN.
