Best patch tool?

Over the years I've developed a few patches. I always redistribute the patched binary. I think it would be nicer to use a patch tool that verifies a binary CRC first, then applies a plaintext patch that is just replacing bytes. Is there anything like that for DOS that works reasonably well?
Thanks

I think my patching utility fits the "plaintext patch" part, but there's no CRC checking. The tool just checks the size of the file (or the size of the "image" for 16-bit DOS executables). And it doesn't actually run under DOS, it's a Win32 program.
