1. How would I write a decls for the gethostname function?
2. Failing #1...I wish to make Blitz functions for all functions within "ws2_32.dll"

hostname$ = GetHostName()
Print hostname$
WaitKey()
End


Function GetHostName$()
	tempbuffer$ = String$(" ", 63)
	tempbank = CreateBank(Len(tempbuffer$)+4)
	PokeByte tempbank,Len(tempbuffer$),4
	CallDLL ("ws2_32.dll", "gethostname", tempbank)
	For temp = 0 To Len(tempbuffer$)-1
		tempbyte = PeekByte (tempbank,temp)
		If tempbyte <> 0 Then tempname$ = tempname$ + Chr$(PeekByte (tempbank,temp))
	Next
	FreeBank tempbank
	Return tempname$
End Function
