R help - Mar 2004 - bray-curtis?

Does R have a function to calculate Bray-Curtis distance measures, which is 
probably one of the most frequently used and recommended dissimilarity 
measures in ecology?  It isn't mentioned in dist().

Look at the function vegdist in the library vegan.

It does Bray-Curtis and other common ecological distance measures.
