Hello,

In order to generate all combinations of n objects 2 at a time I load
the `DiscreteMath` add-on.

<<DiscreteMath`Combinatorica`

l[n_]:=rt[Ksubsets[Reverse[Table[i,{i,n}]],2]]


So that with n=objects I get

l[6]

{{2,1},{3,1},...,{6,4},{6,5}}

Any suggestions on how to do this without loading the add-on?
