Maybe there's a LOGFORMAT command in analog.cfg which is telling analog the
log format when the LOGFILE command is in analog.cfg too, but analog doesn't
know the format when the logfile is specified on the command line.

Perhaps I should be more explicit. All commands work on the command line.
But if you move a command out of a configuration file onto the command line,
you won't necessarily get exactly the same report because the order of
commands can be important too.
