Rather than read the catalogs directly, we used LISTCAT ALL and ate the
output with SAS to compare new and old catalogs when we converted from
CVOL's and VSAM catalogs to ICF. This would seem to be much faster, esp.
since LISTCAT already knows how to read catalog records and gets most
of the info. out in a relatively-easy-to-digest form.

Unfortunately, that was a few years ago, and I'm sure the SAS code is
long gone by now.
