Ok. This point was actually the reason why I wondered that
you consider using external tools. Doing this inside scid
would just avoid the issue once and for all.

If included in scid I'd thoght more about a local
implementation in tcl _within_ scid.
Anyway, I was aware of this policy but it might have changed

Ok, it stayed the way I know it. Its a bit silly to keep the
protocol secret as it would not hinder anybody as one can
clearly see, but well ;)

Ok. That is there is just no binary of timeseal available
that would be usable on CE. Ok, now I understand the
motivation better. Thx.
