Thanks.  That's still a big improvement over my methods.  I was creating 
the spheres, storing each location in an array, then running a new 
comparison each time to see whether I already had a sphere. . . . I 
still don't think enough like a programmer.

Well, now I can give it a go on a 3D IFS and see what comes out.

Thanks again!
