Wow!  As always, I'm in complete awe of David Empson.

How do you get Fixwatch to fix the SmartWatch?  Would
a simple "-FIXWATCH" or "BRUN FIXWATCH" do the trick?
If so, this little program should be uploaded to ground so
that other IIc Plus users can fix their SmartWatches.

Obsbedia2, do you think this might have been what has
been happening to your SmartWatches every few weeks?
If so, you could try this program to revive them.
