That's right.  Larceny's format string directives are not all the same
as other implementations'.  The only ones my
xitomatl/tests/common-tests.sps tests are 
'("~~" "~s" "~a" "~b" "~o" "~x").  Looking at
larceny_src/lib/Standard/format.sch, it looks like "~b" is the only one
of those where Larceny differs.

I know of your
  http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~micheles/scheme/sweet-macros.zip
but that looks older than the version you described.  Is your latest
version online or would you email it to me?

It sounds like you've already done something like it, but just to
mention it, you can manually load the libraries using `load' from the
`(err5rs load)' library.  I'm able to successfully load the version from
that URL, but I also get `...' problems when trying to use it.
