Hello, here is summary about versions:
Windows NT 3.1, 3.50 and 3.51 do not have any msvcrt.dll library.
Windows NT 4.0 contains msvcrt.dll which has same set of symbols
as msvcrt.dll from Visual C++ 4.2.
Windows 95 does not have any msvcrt.dll library.
Windows 98 First Edition has msvcrt.dll with same set of symbols as
msvcrt.dll from Visual C++ 5.0 SP1.
Windows 98 Second Edition has msvcrt.dll with same set of symbols as
msvcrt.dll from Visual C++ 6.0.
Windows Me and Windows 2000 have same set of symbols and have them more
than the Visual C++ 6.0. So Me/2000 should have newer version of
msvcrt.dll than what was included in the last Visual C++ 6.0.
So I'm guessing that the Windows 98 SE, Windows Me and Windows 2000 have
support for that second locale format.
Exact list of symbols and in which version they were added is in the
msvcrt.def.in mingw-w64 file.
