just so you may have the latest numbers (as per Peter's
note ... thanks Peter, I would have missed that!) ... I
present the latest numbers from GenBank ... They are from
gbrel.txt, which you can find in the /genbank directory
at the NCBI anonymous FTP site (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
regards to Peter, Rob and all others,
