	I have UNIX software which will accomplish this, but at this time
it requires a local copy of GenBank and software to access it
(i.e. GCG or Eugene).    
	Generating the data takes very little effort once you have
a set of entries culled of duplicates.  I would be happy to generate
the table if you are willing to cull the CDS list.
