[amsat-bb] FoxTelem Version 1.02

[Burns Fisher]

Hi Dino,

As  Mac user who was a field tester for this, I can tell you that the
"downgrade" causes no harm for me.  In fact, I'm pretty sure the older
version is in addition to the new one.  In other words the current version
of Java from Oracle is there as well as the "special" older version that
Apple used be the sole supplier for.  I have no idea how a program decides
which one to use, but I have both Java6 and Java 8 on my Mac now.  (I
accept no liability for any problem you might have, of course :-)

It seems to be a bit difficult for Chris, not having a Mac, to get it to
work with only the newer Oracle version, but of course that is the eventual
solution.
