Do you remember the good old days where real men typed in zaps
received from vendors over the fax machine.

If they sent a non-SMP version of the zap (w/CHECKSUM) and a SMP
version of the zap (minus the CHECKSUM), I'd make a copy of the
load module and run the zap outside of SMP with the CHECKSUM to
make sure the zap was typed in right.    Then I'd run it through
SMP.

I don't know about you but I prefer full module replacements
over zaps.
