Thanks for your quick reply. :)
I'm still a little lost. I have used the Monmonier function with 1 dist
matrix. But my I'm not sure if I can use a file with several matrices,
instead of one single matrix (they are bootstraps). Is it possible?

And if I understand you well, then I cannot export the matrices in
triangular format, can I?

Thanks!!
