You can't format packets in WinSock. WinSock is a higher level protocol. Try searching the newsgroup database (maybe the old one on Topica), I remember a thread where they discussed the format for sending commands to the dedicated server using C. You could also try searching Yahoo for an open source utility which does the same thing, many exist and from the code you could see how the commands are formatted.
