DISKMAP is not particularly flexible; its main advantage is that it's free.
One of its shortcomings is that it has no way of reporting free space above
the last allocated minidisk on a volume.  So, DISKMAP would report the
space between MDISK 191 3390 100 5 ... and MDISK 291 3390 110 5 ... as
free, but it would not report space after the last allocated minidisk as
free.  To get around this, I defined a $DASD$ userid in the directory which
had a 1-cylinder minidisk allocated at cylinder 3339 on all 3390-3 packs.
This allowed DISKMAP to report any free space remaining at end-of-volume.
