maclisp FORMAT

[JONL at MIT-MC (Jon L White)]

1) the problem you mentioned with format doing (STATUS ITS) has been
   moot for some time, since the standard maclisp has DEFUN& as an
   autoloadable macro.  Nevertheless, I edited the source to flush
   all referencees to DEFUN& (since "(DEFUN FOO (X Y &REST Z) ...)"
   will automatically convert itself into DEFUN& and autoload if
   necessary.
2) I too don't see any solution to the tilde problem except
   recompilatin at SAIL.  
3) there have been a few suggesions accumulation re FORMAT for
   both the LISPM and MACLISP, and I wonder who wants to do them?
   I especially liked your suggestion "(b)" of June 7 re right-, 
   center-, and left-justification for fields.
