why the contrib/format in lost state?

How did you get it?

I have 
(C4) format((1+2*eps*(q+r*cos(g))^2)^4,%series(eps,2),%trig(g),factor);

                  2      2                2
(D4) 1 + eps (4 (r  + 2 q ) + 4 COS(2 g) r  + 16 COS(g) q r)

      2        4       2  2      4                4                  3
 + eps  (3 (3 r  + 24 q  r  + 8 q ) + 3 COS(4 g) r  + 24 COS(3 g) q r

                     2      2                 2   2      2
 + 24 COS(g) q r (3 r  + 4 q ) + 12 COS(2 g) r  (r  + 6 q )) + . . .
In addition to my previous message. Google pointed me that our src dir has 
pois2(3).lisp :-))). I found that they are not workable,  however.
E.g., I have
(C12) intopois(cos(u+x*v)^2);
Illegal arg to POISSIMP:
v x + u

So it's necessary to debug them.  I feel we can get pois2.demo working after  
correcting pois2(3).

best rgds,
