Can Omar's identity: 
   
 Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n-1) * q^(n*(n+1)/2) * (1+q^n) / (1-q^n)^2  =  Sum_{n>=1} sigma(n)*q^n  
  
be shown to be equivalent to a known q-series identity?

Dear Professors,

The entry A196020 contains a conjecture:
It appears that the alternating sum of row n equals the sum of divisors of n.
Does anybody knows how to�prove�o�disprove�this conjecture?
