This is how I would have "packed" the package to bytes.

	
Function Create:Packet(msg:String)
	Local p:Packet = New Packet
	p.size = Len(msg)
	p.bytes:Byte Ptr = msg.ToCString() 'Convert to bytes
	Return p
End Function 

Method UnPack:String()
	Return String.FromBytes( bytes, size)
End Method

Also when you do the Asci/byte math:
For Local i = 0 To p.size-1
p.bytes[i] = Asc( Mid$( msg,i+1,1 ) )
Next
This is the new BlitzMax Way. Nicer and easier to read once you get used to it.
For Local i = 0 To p.size-1
p.bytes[i] = msg[i]
Next

Also I also think you can use Until instead:
For Local i = 0 until p.size
p.bytes[i] = msg[i]
Next
