Lots of outdated calls have entry points.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superceded by a number of API's, and the latter has been replaced by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