I believe that's its intent nowadays. My last experience with "real"
DITTO was in 1997 when I worked for a software house. But when we
trialed File Manager v1, my first impression of it was, "It's DITTO with
a new front-end". I've heard that the current version of FM offers
most, if not all, of the functionality of File-Aid.
And remember that Compuware sued IBM a few years ago when the IBM Debug
Tool came "too close" to the look and feel of Xpediter.
