Krill Loader and Pucrunch

I'm trying to get the krill-loader working with pucrunch, but I can't seem to find the right packing options making it compatible with the loader.
I've been using exomizer, but I ran into problems with the unpacking not working properly (don't know if this is exomizer or krill - or if my interrupt is wrecking it), so I figured I'd try with pucrunch instead (also exomizer is very slow during compression)
Anyone can give som aid?

"use this version: Fixup #$00"
HELL NO !

this is the last released one: Krill's Loader, repository version 58 - better yet ask krill for v136

that said, make sure you use the latest version of pucrunch - i had some strange problems with an earlier one myself (sometimes files wouldnt work)

for packing: pucrunch -c0 bla.prg packed.prg

That's a version from 2002, I use the repository version 0.92 which is newer (I think). Still doesn't help me with the problem of which options to send to pucrunch for krill-loader-compatibility.
@Groepaz: thanx that was probably what I was looking for, I'll check later today when the kids have gone to sleep.

Doesnt Pucrunch require compressed files to be offset adjusted using the java tool supplied with krills loader?

pucrunch -c0 -ffast -n infile.prg packed.prg

Thanx, -c0 really did the trick, thanx for all the help, now perhaps I can get back to coding the parts for the demo.

groepaz: which version of pucrunch did you have problems with? I use Jul 15. 2003 compilation, and I have a problem with most of the time the compression is incorrect (I don't think it's a timing issue, because when it's wrong its the same fault each time, when its right, it runs each and every time) - I noticed the faulty and correct compression (made from the exact same .prg file) had different compressed binary layout.
Any advice?
