Thanks to the above suggestion, as well as the earlier message from
Peter Bex,  I seem to have gotten the fmt and numbers eggs to work
properly together.  At least, the earlier errors are gone.

In the process, I have probably inserted '(use numbers)' in a few
unnecessary places in my copy of the fmt source files.  At first I
thought I should be able to manage by editing only the compiler flags in
fmt.setup (-prelude, etc.), but that didn't work.

Regards, and thanks for the help,
