Repost (Amazon gift certificate for answer this time) NT Event ids

Question

Where can I find information about the different types of event ids (with numbers and descriptions, source tag, type) for what Oracle writes to the NT event log ?
I offer a $25 gift certificate for the first answer.
Thanks

The note in question reads :
When the Oracle Database Server service fails or fails to start with a pre-
determined error code it calls the ReportEvent function to write an entry to
the event log, Windows NT then passes the parameters to the event-logging
service. This in turn then uses the information to write an EVENTLOGRECORD
structure to the event log. Other errors are reported to the Alert.Log or
related trace files.
When the Windows NT event viewer application starts it uses the OpenEventLog
function to open the event log for an event source. The event viewer can then
use the ReadEventLog function to read event records from the log. ReadEventLog
returns a buffer containing an EVENTLOGRECORD structure and additional
information that describes a logged event.
