Try FixHunk.  Here is the description from Fish Disk #36:

    FixHunk      A program to modify executable files to allow them to
          run in external memory.  It forces all DATA and BSS hunks
          in the file to be loaded into CHIP memory.  CODE hunks will
          still load into FAST ram if available.  Version 1.2a.

This ought to have you Hack-ing again in no time!
