Help transforming a dist

I'm not at all sure what you mean with your matrix: is that supposed to
be three columns? What about:

fakedata <- data.frame(X=runif(3), Y = runif(3))
rownames(fakedata) <- c("A", "B", "C")
dist(fakedata)

? ? ? ? ?A ? ? ? ? B
B 0.8617733
C 0.3813032 0.5124284

data.frame(t(combn(rownames(fakedata), 2)), dist=as.vector(dist(fakedata)))

?X1 X2 ? ? ?dist
1 ?A ?B 0.8617733
2 ?A ?C 0.3813032
3 ?B ?C 0.5124284

I'd like to convert a dist into a table/matrix/thingy of the form:

A B value
A C value
B C value

(assuming the dist was over 3 names).

Is there a way to do this without using a for loop?
