You could always make your own.

distance = sqrt(((object position x(x)-camera position x(i))^2)+((object position y(x)-camera position y(i))^2)+((object position z(x)-camera position z(i))^2))

Where x is the object number and i is the camera number. It's Pythagorus' Theorem.

No problem. I think there might be quicker ways to do it using the 3d maths commands, but I haven't really tried them yet.
