+\details{
+ This function accesses the R web site to discover the latest released
+ version of R. It then compares this version to the running version.
+ If the running version is the same as the latest version, it prints
+ the message, "The latest version of R is installed:" followed by the
+ version number, and returns NULL. If the running version is older
+ than the current version, it displays the message, "A newer version of
+ R is now available:" followed by the corresponding version number, and
+ returns the version number.
+
+ If \code{quiet=TRUE}, no printing is performed.
+
+}
+\value{
+ Either the version number of the latest version of R, if the running
+ version is less than the latest version, or NULL.
