You could reposition points by lowering the coordinate precision,
causing "close" points to snap to common points. Populate two new
fields with x and y coordinates of the objects, but use the
round() function to lower the precision. Of course, you might
want to save the original coordinates too! For example,
longitudes of -105.123456, -105.123458 and -105.123463 all fall
on -105.123460 with Round(fLon, 0.000001), where fLon is any of
those longitude values. Once your points are snapped to the same
locations, Disperse will work on them.
