Default Jeep Cherokee won't start

I have a 93 Jeep cherokee that won't start. Just up and decided not to start one morning after running fine the night before. Now, before anyone says Replace The CPS", I just did, and the dang thing didn't start. I'm charging the battery now and I will try in the morning, but while we wait, I wondered if anyone else had had this problem.

Oh, and just to cover the bases:
Checked for spark out of the plugs; nothing. Smelled plenty of gas coming out of the open spark plug hole, so I am assuming that there is plenty of gas in the cylinders.
Checked for spark out of the distro cap; nothin'.
I did test, or try to test, the ignition coil, and the best I could read was that I was getting 11 ohms between the tower and the upper contact prong. Now that I think about it, that might have been kohms.
Anyway, I'm open to suggestions. Jeep owners unite! and all that.
