Is there an S-Plus function that will count the number of
unique values or text items in a column, and give the number
of                 occurrances of each alongside the value
or text ? 

E.g., for a column that reads: 

At 
B 
A 
A 
B 
A 
A 
C 

I want output that reads:

A     3 	                
At    1 
B     2 
C     1


Thanks!
