call versionCheck(final String currVersion, final String txtLoc) where currVersion is the local script's current version, and txtLoc is the location of an online .txt file containing only the version number (or a blank HTML site containing the same thing).

Poor implementation, imo. Should be a boolean returning if it's current, not a void.

txtLoc is the location of the file with the version and current version is....the current version
