If you meant an analagous or work-alike program, not that I ever heard of.
The two main competitors -- Powerquest's DI and Norton's GHOST -- seemed
to own that program category.

If by awareness, you meant support for HPFS (and, by extension, OS/2) , PQ
dropped this from Partition Magic around version 5, and dropped it from DI
sometime after version 4. Later versions of PM ran under Win instead of from
DOS, so I would imagine this might also be the case with the later DI versions.

Ray recently posted here that he uses PM 3.0x to copy partitions from h/d to
h/d. But that is not the same thing as making compressed image files that can
be archived to cd, etc. That is a rather particular specialty.
