[arm-allstar] v1.5rc2 comments on successful install

[Buddy Brannan]

Howdy Roger,

Another possibility for decompressing the package is The Unarchiver. I've had this on my Mac(s) for ages, so I don't even remember where it came from, but I think it must have been from the Mac app store. This thing seems to be able to grok any sort of compression algorithm you throw at it...at least, I haven't run into one it can't handle. Which doesn't mean there *isn't* one of course. This doesn't appear to be one, however. 

Vy 73,
