In the end, I had to give up on using format/2-3 to avoid portability issues and instead code a self-adjusting column layout. Btw, this was for a port profiler tool, something that you're familiar with :-) If curious, the announcement is at: http://forums.logtalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=240 It runs fine on ECLiPSe (as expected :-).
