Ok everyone, I have a problem that I'm hoping someone can help me out with...
	I'm trying to write a simple program which will compose a packet 
	and send it from one socket to another on the same machine (or to
	a socket on a different machine)... I'm able to open both the source
	and desination sockets but when I try to compose and send the packet
	DDPWrite returns a -91 in errCode which is supposed to say that the 
	source socket isn't open... I don't understand... Could some one 
	take a look at the following code and let me know what I'm missing.
	I would really appreciate it...
