Ah, I don't have my copy of the Comprehensive ABC here at home with me.
If you have Wenlin, you have it in electronic form. Wenlin does the typesetting (and sub-licensing) for ABC, and the ABC data is accessible from within the Wenlin app.
But on the subject of a Simplified Chinese radical set for Unihan:
Please see the new field kHDZRadBreak coming in the Unihan 4.1 beta. This field shows a way to add additional radical info to Unihan. That is, for a lexical kSource in Unihan, one can associate kSource mappings with radical transitions. The Hanyu Da Zidian radical set is in fact a simplification of Kang Xi, though not one using simplified characters. When lexical mappings for a good simplified PRC lexicon are included in Unihan, a similar table can be built. We've got mapping and pinyin data for all of Xiandai Hanyu Cidian, accepted by UTC for inclusion in future Unihan. This will hopefully be added to Unihan in the coming year (pending final proofing).
