Can't Figure out why I get the cast error in this program at line 39

[joe vasher]

I keep getting this error. I don't understand why this is happening? I included the error with my println statements which work right up to the read...

ANY help would be appreciate. I only have a few hairs left..

run:
Writing to file !0
Writing to file !1
Writing to file !2
here!
Packet created!
