Pulling data from canonical fossil repository fails with following messages (Czech part of OS messages is displayed also incorrectly - wrong console codepage):
c:\soft\bin>fossil.exe pull http://www.fossil-scm.org/ -R myfossilclone_canonical.fossil
c:\soft\bin\fossil.exe: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: os_win.c:33310: (3) winOpen(C:\Documents and Settings\user\Data aplikac\_fossil) - SystÚm nem¨×e nalÚzt uvedenou cestu.

c:\soft\bin\fossil.exe: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: cannot open file at line 33316 of [f55156c519]
c:\soft\bin\fossil.exe: unable to open database file

If you have recently updated your fossil executable, you might
need to run "fossil all rebuild" to bring the repository
schemas up to date.
--
os message in Czech tells, that system cannot find path specified
correct path should be "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Data aplikací\_fossil", Path for _fossil file in function winOpen() is missing "í"  small letter i with acute.

If I chage code page to Eastern Europe 1250
c:\soft\bin>MODE CON CP SELECT=1250

The messages after attempt to pull data from fossil repository indicate the same error, only Czech parts on display are now correct:
c:\soft\bin>fossil.exe pull http://www.fossil-scm.org/ -R myfossilclone_canonical.fossil
c:\soft\bin\fossil.exe: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: os_win.c:33310: (3) winOpen(C:\Documents and Settings\user\Data aplikac\_fossil) - Systém nemůže nalézt uvedenou cestu.
