Thank you Joe for clarifications and your Unix-like system setup recipe. I'll try to absorb it and use it. Meanwhile it seem that my simple idea of "fossil on windows with embedded tcl as a single exe" is not that easy as it seems. I have found notes from drh dated 2005 [1]. Still I thing it would be hugely useful as personal portable "fossil" with scripting included.
