Most of these tools became obsolete when the last version of Oracle for the FlintStone Age (7.3) was desupported. After that everyone converted to locally managed tablespaces, and stopped waisting their time with futile 'exercises' like the one you describe.
Evidently you could still 'alter tablespace coalesce' and 'alter table move' couldn't you?
Provided you have way too much time on your hand, that is.
