"Me too". I have a script, which I think I've bandied about here in the past, which evaluates collocation for me, but I think it's poorly aligned with your needs, Grant: I select candidates for inclusion into collocation groups, and then once that's done I MOVE DATA to vacate tapes which are low-utilization and have a candidate collocated home. - Allen S.
