Subject: [R] inverse function of melt

Dear list,
I'm looking for an inverse function of melt(which is in package reshape).Namely, I had a data frame like this
(Table1)

YEAR  VAR1  VAR2  VAR3
1995      7           3         45

1996       5         6            32

1997       6          10         15
I transformed my data by using the melt function and my data was reshaped in the following format:
(Table2)

YEAR    variable          value

1995        VAR1              7

1996         VAR1             5

1997         VAR1             6
1995        VAR2              7

1996         VAR2             5

1997         VAR2             6
1995        VAR3              7

1996         VAR3             5

1997         VAR3             6

 Now I would like to come back to the original format, namely table1.
Anyone could help me??
Thanks for your attention!
