Hmm. Are you using the format stuff from cvs or did you download the
original tarball? The original tarball does indeed have the updated
pois2.lisp file, and works in Maxima. Unfortunately we can't touch it
to add it in the distro :-(.

I think Barton mentioned this a long while back - he also concluded our
pois stuff was busted. He found the one in format and I guess lived
happily ever after ;-). Unfortunately, we aren't so lucky.

I think so too. With Miller's paper detailing what changes he made to
the Macsyma one, I figure if we can get ours working properly and then
make ours act like his stuff expects it to, we're all set.
Unfortunately, that level of messing around is beyond my time and skill
limits :-(. Eventually I expect it can be made to work.
