I'm surprised that nobody has made an online repository for the Doppler.SQF files for ALL amateur satellites.
What would be the best place to keep one? AMSAT-NA web site? On the DK1TB's web site, where people go to download SATPC32?
Maintaining a Doppler.SQF repository would be relatively easy. The list isn't that huge, and new satellites don't come along very often.
The repository would also logically include SubTone.SQF and AmsatNames.txt information.

Wayne,
I share your surprise that frequency information is not available in a machine readable format. As the cube sats are coming fast and furious, it makes keeping up with them harder.

Help me understand something.
Doppler.sqf is a file specific for SatPC32. When you download the program, Erich has provided a basic doppler.sqf file for you to use. Most folks have customized them with +- frequency adjustments for their own location, setup, radio etc. As much as I like plug and play, don't you want your own setup for your station and consequently learn how to do it? Looking up a new frequency for a satellite is as easy as reading emails and editing the files is even easier. Maybe I am missing something.....
Now, It only takes one volunteer to compile information and submit it to AMSAT. How wants to do it?
Happy New Year!
