Thanks for the explanation, Sean.  But I'm still confused.  So where do I
find the 1% zero ohm resistors?  5% can be a lot for some applications.
That's not even good to 5 bits.  Are there any 0 ohm trim pots for
calibration?  I can't seem to find any.  +-50% range would be good enough
for my application.  And what if I need higher power 0 ohm resistors, like
1 watt or 2 watts?

Sorry to bother you, but you seem to know a lot about these things.
