How can one handle the problem of not having an the "unsigned integer"
type in visual basic?  I am calling a functions in a DLL which returns
a unsigned long value.  I need to store this value in a structure and
pass the structure as a parameter in another DLL function call.
my failure to this is because Visual Basic doesn't support the unsigned
type.  Is there a way around this problem?
