It would be really useful it there was a way to mass-compare checksums from the data blocks inside the files... Not just for TZX, but for any other similar formats where each "full dump" is inevitably going to have its own checksum due to small differences detected in pauses between blocks, etc.

Then again, there may also exist certain releases where only the pause lengths are different (we have to think of every possible situation), so there would have to be a threshold for considering them separate things.
