Why would you do that?  In XP and 2000, the riched32.dll is a wrapper 
around riched20.dll and is referred to as a "Rich Edit 1.0 emulator".  
The name of the DLL did not change from version 2.0 to version 3.0 to 
allow version 2.0 to be upgraded to version 3.0 without breaking 
existing code.

Anyway, if you look for 32.dll first, you will find it and we'll have an 
emulated 1.0 control instead of a 3.0 control.

You're correct. I read the API docs wrong.
