The source code for MSVCRT.DLL comes with every installation
of VC++6 (perhaps not with the cheap one for beginners, but
surely Professional and up).  You don't get to see the sources
for the underlying operating systems (quite likely very
different ones for the 95/98/ME lineage vs the NT/2000/XP
one, of course:-), but the C runtime's sources often help.
