I know that MicroLite Corp was working on a utility like you mentioned.
They were showing off literature at the SCO Forum in August.
I don't think they have actually shipped the product yet.
What we do, is use CTAR (by MicroLite) and backup the entire system, 
and using their CTAR boot disk, reformat the drive and reinstall
from the backup tape all files.  This will in effect unfragment the
disk.  A little bit of the long way.  Although you have to consider,
that true de-fragmenting utilities can run for LONG periods.
We are talking possible hours to run.

         using their products as resellers.
