NewZap is not a sector editor.  It is a file editor that happens to show the
file in binary and ASCCI. You can patch away to your heart's content and never
worry about checksums. As with anything you use to modify a file, apply the
changes to a copy of the original, if possible, and be careful what you change.

NewZap is quite easy to use.
