NAME
       astzclock - the AfterStep clock

SYNOPSIS
       astzclock [ -help] [-12 | -24] [-shape]
	       [-position [+|-]x[+|-]y]
	       [-exe program]
	       [-led color]
	       [-timezone zone]
	       [-noblink] [-iconic]

DESCRIPTION
       The  astzclock  is a clock written to emulate the date/time application
       on the NEXTSTEP(tm) operating system.  astzclock	supports multiple lan-
       guages, military	and AM/PM time formats,	 program  execution,  and  the
       shape extention to X-Windows.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       -help
	      prints the usage message:
		      usage:  astzclock	[-options ...]
		      where options include:
			  -12			  12 hour format
			  -24			  24 hour format
			  -exe <program>	  program to start on click
			  -led <color>		  color	of the led
			  -position [+|-]x[+|-]y  position of astzclock
			  -shape		  without groundplate
			  -noblink		  don't	blink
			  -iconic		  start	up as icon
		       -timezone <zone>	       use a different time zone

       -12 or -24
	      sets  the	desired	time format to either twelve hour with AM/PM (
	      -12 ) or military	time ( -24 ).  If no option is given  military
	      time is used.

       -shape
	      turn  on	shaped	window	support	 for  astzclock.  When this is
	      turned on	the astzclock windows will only	appear to be  the  led
	      and  date	pad.  By default shaped	windows	are turned off and the
	      clock will appear	on a 64	pixel by 64 pixel base.

       -led <color>
	      specifies	the color of the led. To  find	out  what  colors  are
	      available, try showrgb

       -position [+|-]x[+|-]y
	      specifies	 the  starting	position of astzclock. The [+|-] works
	      like the standard	X-Windows x/y geometry option.

       -exe <program>
	      specifies	the application	to start when the pointer is activated
	      over astzclock. To invoke	applications with parameters, you have
	      to set quotes around the command.	See example below...

       -noblink
	      specifies	if astzclock should blink.

       -iconic
	      This gives weird output with AfterStep, so  don't	 bother.  It's
	      for mwm and other	wm's with no hint functionality.

       -timezone <zone>
	      Display  the  time  as  it  currently  is	in the given time zone
	      rather than locally.

INVOCATION
       astzclock can be	called from one	of many	ways.  The most	common invoca-
       tion is the command line:

	    [user@host]	~% astzclock -12 -exe 'xlock -mode hop'	&

       Another way to call astzclock is	from the window	manager:

	    *Wharf - - MaxSwallow "astzclock"  astzclock -shape	-12&

       This line, when placed in the .steprc file in the users home  directory
       will  cause  astzclock to use the shape extensions so that it will be a
       button on the Wharf (1) button bar under	the afterstep (1) window  man-
       ager.

BUGS
       we don't	have bugs :)
