_lcreat16 (and al.) is in fact a 16 bit function, implemented in 
krnl386. so, normally it wouldn't be accessible from 32 bit DLLs (we can 
do it in some cases, but the least we do, the better it is).
So, if the same behavior (as _lcreat16) can be obtained with other 32 
bit APIs (like _lcreat or CreateFile), that'd be better. Beware, that 
_lcreat16 is different from _lcreat (search path order for example is 
not the same).
