True, some error msgs look funny with ~1G~S  and so on in  them,
but I still maintain that forcibly loading in FORMAT is not the
sloution (for MacLISP, that is).  Perhaps we should merely advise
novice users to put a loading of FORMAT into their LISP init files.
What we are doing is protecting MACSYMA and friends from the
suffocation of address space.   Any other opinions on this matter?
