Can a rogue get a dex crit with a bow?

On live in this era back in 1999, there was a way for rogues to get huge critical hits with "thrown weapons" because there was a bug.

If you used a bow in your ranged slot and throwing daggers for ammo, and hit from behind...it was considered a hit with a throwing weapon and from behind so eligible for a crit...and yet, also added the bow's damage as part of the damage calculation.

That was removed fairly quickly once it was discovered.

But the idea of being able to shoot a throwing knife with a bow was hilarious.
