Could have been. That was a batch tool only that used GTF like trace data IIRC, and may have even read GTF input. There were others, including Astex, which CA acquired through Legent. Like most of the Legent products, it was very good. But I really liked FASTDASD's ability to create FDR Compaktor control statements to order data sets close to the VTOC (to carry over to another thread on this topic). I used to run it on the live sysres and use Compaktor to combine extents, compress and re-order data sets on my target sysres after applying maintenance. Oh... those were the days. :-)
