	Dear Andres,

It are actually the files *.codon that are needed for EMBOSS ; 
downloading and extracting CUTG.151.tar.gz will do the job.

There is however a problem : cutgextract puts the files with codons in
.../share/EMBOSS/data/CODON. Under wEMBOSS this produces a selector with 
thenthousands of entries, which causes delays in the transfer of the 
Web page and is though to use. I do not know how EMBOSS explorer 
behaves. The EMBOSS development team is considering putting the CUTG 
files in a separate directory CUTG, but they have not yet done so. At the 
BEN site I have modified cutgextract, so that it creates files with 
extension .cutg instead of .cut ; wEMBOSS only displays the *.cut files 
in the selector and the .cutg files can still be accessed by typing in 
their name or by retrieving them with embossdata.

	Hope this information helps,
