As I would expect. Although the Unicode function entry points will
usually exist on the 16-bit Windows, that's only to allow programs that
don't actually happen to call them to run up OK. Any program that wishes
to actually use those functions will frequently find them to be stubs.

In other words, either state that your program will not run on the
16-bit versions (Windows up to Windows ME), or if you do wish to run on
those versions, then check at startup which version you are on, and
fallback to Ansi function calls only when you discover yourself on ME or
worse.
