Using an editor that will let you edit binary files, do a search/replace
changing all occurences of "DH0" to "FH1".  Don't make the search case
sensitive, BTW.  Recently, a bug in NewZap was reported (here on usenet, as
a matter of fact) that NewZap fails on a search if the string crosses sector
boundaries, so I wouldn't reccomend that program.  I use TxEd+, which works
splendidly! (thanks, Charlie!)
