Still has issues:

The issue is an opening tag for a "system" element with no corresponding closing element:

Code:


        <entry>
                <system>
                <software>

                        <soft list="amiga_workbench" name="amigos35" />
                </software>

What are you using to generate and validate your XML? It would probably be easier if you used some kind of well-tested tools. XML is pretty mature, and there are a lot of tools for working with it.
