SYNOPSIS

	chris_dcmXML_fix.py	[-f <inputXML>]

DESCRIPTION

	This is a simple script that 'fixes' the malformed XML

	is root element.
	
	This script adds a
	
	<db>
		...
	</db>
	
	tag around the contents and so forms a valid XML file.

	-f <inputXML> (default: %s)
	The input (monolithic) XML database to parse.	
	
	-v
	Provide some additional information (verbose).
