jBox is a Java applet that supports distance measuring, among other things. 
jBox was formerly called "mapplet". It does not appear to be on the UM 
Mapserver page yet, but it should show up soon as version 4.0 revisions to 
those pages are made. If you can't find it on the umn.edu site you can 
fetch it from my site at: http://www.greenwoodmap.com/mapserver/jBox/

Documentation can be found at: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/jbox-howto.html

And a working example at: www2.tetonwyo.org/mapserver
