    Actually, considering that PCs are little-endian, it probably says 'cool' forwards.

    If you take it to the power of -1 and multiply by pi cubed you get something near to 0.00000000000000000067861822930291499375056401754223
    which is famous for being kedaman's ***** size.

    Can you give us some clues that will let us guess it, without using the API. There are loads of possible calls in the whole API, could you narrow it down to one .dll file?

    My guess is that it is:

    We already know what it is. The thing about the API call was simply a clever linguistic trick:
