[mapserver-users] distance search in PLSS

[Puneet Kishor]

Thanks for the advice Ed. I thought of generating a table, but I really 
want to do this with a script so I can specify the distance. Anyway... 
all this discussion has got me thinking and I am putting together a Perl 
script that might be able to do what I want. When I get it working right 
I will post it here for others.

Many thanks,
