I've added a line or two to FORMAT source code so that the FASL will
indeed be independent of SAIL/ITS distinction for tilde; also, I
put in that suggestion you made last April about letting NIL as first
argument to FORMAT mean return string, and T mean "STANDARD-OUTPUT",
so that if one wants to specify the "T" rather than "TYO", he
would have to type "'(T)". If you like this, and if it seems to
work, howabout sending out a Questionaire to the ITS/SAIL maclisp
community to see if it is acceptable, and then we can move the
FASL code from COMLAP to LISP. I hesitate to do it myself since
I have no usages of format except for relativety trivial ones,
and don't have any feel for how serious the change is.
