.SH NAME
setwatch, settime \- programs to send data to your Timex Datalink watch
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B setwatch
.RI [ WATCH_TYPE ]\ [ OPTIONS ]\ [ DATAFILE ]
.br
.B settime
.RI [ WATCH_TYPE ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B setwatch
and
.B settime
commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original programs do not have manual pages.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
\fBsetwatch\fP is the main program in the datalink suite that can send
data to your Timex Datalink watch.  It can send all types of data used
by these watches.
.PP
\fBsettime\fP is a simple utility that will just update the time on your
watch. It will only accept a watch-type argument (defaulting to
-ironman) and sends just the time.
.SH WATCH_TYPE
.TP
.B \-\-help
Show summary of options.
.TP
.B \-ironman
Use if you have an Ironman Datalink watch.  This is the default.
.TP
.B \-70, \-\-model70
Use if you have a model 70 watch.
.TP
.B \-150s, \-\-model150
Use if you have a model 150 watch.
.TP
.B \-150, \-\-model150s
Use if you have a model 150s watch.
.SH OPTIONS
Run "setwatch -help" for options summary.
.SH DATAFILE
By default, the datafile will be loaded from ~/.datalink/datafile.  Just
copy the example file (perhaps installed as /usr/doc/datalink/datafile?)
to this location and edit it as you please before running setwatch. 
Note that if you specify no options, nothing will happen.  Perhaps you
want to try the -all option to start.
.SH AUTHOR
The original datalink software was written by Karl R. Hakimian.

David Fries <dfries@mail.win.org> added support for the Ironman Datalink to
the datalink software and now is the maintainer.  http://datalink.fries.net/
