Nor would it be entirely ethical to do so without Palm's permission!

Nonetheless, I wonder about the practicality of patching zoomer
executable files. Are there any worrisome checksums in the files
that would need to be patched along with the operative patch bits?

(I'm assuming the user would be willing to have a patched copy
of the executable taking up RAM storage space.)
