I changed the code to use GetComputerName, so I guess 
GetComputerNameA is actually used, right? Anyway it's not really 
important, I'm just playing around with winAPIs to get a feel of 
things. I'm making a simple health cheat for a game I've written 
in FreeBasic!

I'm going through a nice D2 tutorial here:

If anyone reading this can save me some time and help me with 
this: How to declare a byte pattern, for example to pass to 
WriteProcessMemory?

I guess it's uint[] bytes;
How do I set it to 0x12345678 ?
