Yes, that could be the case.  It might be good to add support for another
argument positioner besides the percent character and
document that the precent sign may not work e.g. on Win98.

I also had similar problems when trying to set the column.format preference
value from the command line on Win98 (with the -o option).
I sometimes use some bat-scripts that changes the column.format in order to
get specific columns in the summary output from tethereal.

I didn't have so much time to look on the problem after I wrote my mails and
it was mainly on Win2000 that I needed to use
both these functionalities.
