R help - Oct 2007 - Reading distance matrices

Hi all,
I've been having trouble reading in distance matrices (values in lower
triangle only) that have been created by other programs. They load with NA
values in the upper triangle. Is there an option to read the matrices properly?

Thanks,
Muri

If it is lower triangular, then the upper triangle is empty. What do you
expect it to have? We don't have any information on how you're reading
in your data. But, read.table() has an argument for na.strings that you
should look at.
