[aprssig] APRS Developers: tocalls.txt has now been formatted for XML style

[David Andrzejewski]

That's not going to be a very useful XML file for programmers.  To make 
it more programmatically-readable, you'd want something closer to this:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<tocalls>
   <prefix name="APn" description="3rd digit is a number">
   	<tocall>
   		<name>AP1WWX</name>
   		<description>TAPR T-238+ WX Station</description>
   	</tocall>
   	<tocall>
   		<name>AP1MAJ</name>
   		<description>Martyn M1MAJ DeLorme inReach Tracker</description>
   	</tocall>
   </prefix>
   <prefix name="APA" description="AFilter">
   	<tocall>
   		<name>APAGWx</name>
   		<description>SV2AGW's AGWtracker</description>
   	</tocall>
   	<tocall>
   		<name>APALxx</name>
   		<description>Alinco DR-620/635 internal TNC digis. "Hachi" 
,JF1AJE</description>
   	</tocall>
   </prefix>
</tocalls>
