Version 7 of the Genetics Computer Group package has two programs which do
different analyses with codons. Descriptions of them (from GCG's on-line help)
are included below.
Hope this helps,

CODONFREQUENCY
CODONFREQUENCY tabulates codon usage from sequences and/or existing
codon usage tables. The output file is correctly formatted for input
to the CODONPREFERENCE, CORRESPOND, and FRAMES programs.
CODONPREFERENCE
CODONPREFERENCE is a frame-specific gene finder that tries to
recognize protein coding sequences by virtue of the similarity of
their codon usage to a codon frequency table or by the bias of their
composition (usually GC) in the third position of each codon.
