Checking for updated documentation

[Chris Borokowski]

One option is to offload all of this to the server.

Have your documentation load from an HTML frame that also loads an
image from your server, like
http://www.example.com/docs/ver.cgi?id=2.02

The server can return an image that says, "Upgrade to version 2.14
now."

You will still need to write some code, but it is not difficult.
