Any of them in winnt.h?

See winnt.h, like I said. Show me code that will no longer run, dating back
to Win 3.1 (I humbly accept the right honourable data lady's correction
about how long LCIDs have been around!).
> 2. The list of LCIDs needs to be managed as a formal standard. I see no
indication that it is.
Again, see the header file, as well as the macros used to construct LCIDs.
> 3. What is the official source for LCIDs? I have found at least 10 tables
of LCIDs, *all different* in the languages they list on Microsoft's site.
Microsoft should have just one table of LCIDs published on their website,
not one for each technology.
I would say where to look but you would accuse me of broken-record-itis.
Ah, what the heck. WINNT.H. :-)
