I just downloaded a few C64 program crunchers from c64.rulez.org, and
they seem to lock up on me.  I think it's because I don't supply the
proper JMP address or the I/O port at $01.  The files to compress are
ML files with a BASIC stub at $0801.  What are the proper values?
What else could cause the lock-ups?

I assume the basic stub just does a SYS xxxx?
The easiest thing to do is use $37 for $01, and whatever xxxx is.
If the stub is more then you need to issue the RUN command.
Use the same $37 for $01 but use $a871 for the jmp command

Thank you.  I'll try that now.

Or use the perfect cross platform cruncher Exomizer:
http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=97795

Some commands:

exomizer sfx basic,$0801,$endaddress programname.prg -
oprogramname.exo.prg -n

For ML programs or programs with just one Basic stub:

exomizer sfx $startaddress programname.prg -oprogramname.exo.prg -n

a rather well done program, compiling is a breeze and later I'll test it 
on this Linux box :)

I got Time Cuncher to work properly.  Others I tried locked up upon
decompression.  Thank you for your support.
