Local fix

• To solve the issue of not being able to collect the real device
  information when cyl 0 is formatted as spool, page, or t-disk,
  this is an option:
  Define full-pack R/O minidisk overlays (or just cylinder 0
  overlays) in the CP-directory, and link them all into the userid
  that runs the collect, and then run CKVECOLL

  zSecure Collect has CP class A (for the DEFINE command) and has
  CP option DEVMAINT or is the current system operator.
