Is anyone aware of a function equivalent to "Near" in ArcGIS?
(see <a href="http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=Near_(Analysis)" target="_top" rel="nofollow" link="external">http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=Near_(Analysis)</a> for reference)

I have been searching all day and haven't come across anything quite like it.  It seems like such basic functionality I would be surprised if someone hasn't already coded a solution.
