Jump to user comments
jargon 1. To modify, usually to correct; especially used
when the action is performed with a debugger or binary
patching tool. Also implies surgical precision. "Zap the
debug level to 6 and run it again."
In the IBM mainframe world, binary patches are applied to
programs or to the operating system with a program called
"superzap", whose file name is "IMASPZAP" (possibly
contrived from I M A SuPerZAP).
