Looking for nt CRT source code
akspa
looking for the lib file, but the actual source code for the library
itself, specifically for the Windows NT platform.
I'm also looking for any other source code from Windows NT, NTOS, and NT OS/2.
Anyone have any pieces of code like this?

some versions of the DLLs that implement the DLL based runtime library for
some versions of the Visual C/C++ and Visual Studio C/C++ compilers. Most
of the purchased Visual Studio versions include some of the RTL code in
source. In some installers it is not installed unless requested.

The compiled form of the source code I'm looking for is ntcrt.lib. I'm
looking for the source code that was used to build ntcrt.lib. The dll
is even more useless to me :(
Current versions of this library in a compiled dll are usually called
msvcrt. I'm looking for earlier non-visual c-based versions, as well as
the source code for just the Microsoft C runtime. It doesn't seem to be
an easy thing to find.

msvcrt, msvcrt20, & msvcrt40 in the Windows directory. I don't think the
CRT source code comes with any of the free versions of Visual Studio. I
have several Visual Studio C/C++ compilers. Most have the CRT source
available, but I believe that a couple of versions did not ship with it. I
think one or two were available as separate downloads in the past. Recent
RTL dlls were done with the SxS (side by side) and reside in the
application's program files subdirectory.
Do note that not all source code is available which I believe is due to
licensing restrictions. I understand that most of this concerns the
floating point libraries but others may also be involved. Some of the code
is C and there are a lot of ASM files too. Some of the functions in that
code can be replaced by inline code generated by the compiler if requested.
I guess the only question left is what do you want it for. Note it does
have restrictions on how it can be used and is copyright protected.

The source-code for the CRT (C Runtime) from VS can be found in the
directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\crt\src
if you have Visual Studio (completely) installed (at least the standard
version).

Very good question...
If you are a student or professor, you can get access to the windows
source code via Code-Center-Premium.

Yes ;)

You'll have to be more specific. I went clear back to the NT 3.51 DDK and
did not find any file called "ntcrt.lib". I also went back to the
pre-Visual C compiler, MSC 7.00, and it also has no file called
"ntcrt.lib".

It has certainly been easy to find since Visual Studio 98.
