[aprssig] Password changed in WinAPRS & MacAPRS

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

I'm working on a new APRS client called APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and 
Win32.  You can download a free copy from the APRSISCE Yahoo group at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/APRSISCE/  You can read about the software 
at the fledgling Wiki at http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/start
