I am to blame, because I wrote the code ;-)
I fixed the error message.

History: First, there was no --disable and not calling of formats with
eng/format. But the error message was there from the beginning, and
left untouched when we introduced the format/eng specification.

Thanks for your persistence.

Best regards

Norbert
