I have a simple two vector dataframe (length=30) that looks something like this:

> mDF
    Param1 w.IL.L
1   AuZgFw    0.5
2   AuZfFw      2
3   AuZgVw   74.3
4   AuZfVw  20.52
5   AuTgIL   80.9
6   AuTfIL  193.3
7   AuCgFL    0.2
8   ...

I'd like to use each of the rows to form 30 single value numeric vectors with the name of the vector taken from mDF$Param1, so that:

> AuZgFw       
[1] 0.5     

etc

I've tried melting and casting, but I suspect there may be an easier way??

Thanks in advance
