SUBROUTINE OutputDebugStringA (String lpszOutputString) &
   LIBRARY "kernel32.dll"
   
// FOR PB10 :
//   SUBROUTINE OutputDebugStringA (String lpszOutputString) &
//   LIBRARY "kernel32.dll" ALIAS FOR "OutputDebugStringA;Ansi"

// then the time will be displayed
OutputDebugStringA( String(Now(), "hh:mm") )
