  19. Lots of outdated calls have entry points.  Like MouSetHotKey.  There
  20. are only two calls that were in the 1.0 spec but aren't in the 2.0
  21. library:  DosSystemService, and VioReadStr.  The former has been
  22. superceded by a number of API's, and the latter has been replaced by
  23. VioReadCellStr, which appears to work identically to it.
