The allocation maps is something rarely changed.  But there are two other 
thing in cyl 0 too

- the SAPL program, alongside its default IPL parms
- the "pointer" to the active CP directory (there are two copies of the CP 
directory, the alloc map tells which is active)

So I'd flascopy cyl 1-end, and copy cyl 0 only if you change it.  To make 
the directory "current"' simply issue a DIRECTXA (ir DIRM DIRECT)
