API for Random.org

LabVIEW's built in random number generator is pseudorandom, but uses the same seed, and thus the first value returned is always the same and the pattern is quite predictable.  This hosed me for a project I was working on, so I wrote an API to fetch truly random numbers in LabVIEW from RANDOM.ORG.  I've posted it here if you need it (you most certainly don't):
