[ros-kernel] RosGetTimeFormat and GetTimeFormatA

[Richard Campbell]

it is possible to use pointers in vb (ever hear of the varptr function?  
also, study up on ByRef and ByVal), and i believe you mean vbNullChar or 
vbNullString  Anyways i won't  argue the merits/drawbacks of visual 
basic, each language has it's strengths and weaknesses, I for one 
dislike when people bang on vb, saying it's a bad language, when they 
don't know it's inner functionality.
