having looked at NetMaze I see there are much easier ways to do things...

<embarrassed grin>

ok... so moving to a RB dictionary/RAM based environment instead of the disk-based php/mySQL based one, what would be a nice equivalent to:

"Select * from gorillas where (x between myLoc.X-30 AND myLoc.X + 30) AND (z between myLoc.Z-30 AND myLoc.Z+30)"

since my hopes are that I'll eventually have a bazillion users spread out over vast cyber-distances

or since I currently have very few users, do I simply not worry about X,Z distances and just tell everyone about everyone else? That would be easier, but I *do* hope to have a bazillion users some day...!
