Subject: A & I database title overlap program?

Colleagues, 

    I am trying to find out if there is a program available 
that will run a comparison of titles indexed between two 
index and abstract databases. This can be used as a 
collection development tool. For example, we would like to 
know what percentage of overlap occurs between
the Anthropological Index Online and InfoTrac's OneFile.

I realize that other factors need to be considered when 
comparing databases of this nature such as how a database is 
indexed, but for a rough estimate of overlap it would be 
nice to have...

Anyone know of a tool that can do this?
