Lauren Farm 3 updater

-- This is eniallator's updater program.
-- The way it works is it will compare a version variable in 2 files; 1 pastebin link and 1 local file.
-- NOTE: it does not compare the contents of the file, it only compares a variable.
-- ================================================================================
--
-- To make a version variable in your file copy and paste the following into the file:
--
-- version = "*insert version here*"
--
-- This has to be in the local file aswell as the pastebin file to download.
-- ================================================================================
--
-- To add your file to be updated when running this program add the following to the filesToUpdate table:
--
-- *insert file name* = "*insert pastebin code after 'http://pastebin.com/'*"
--
-- The file name must correspond to your local file on your computercraft computer and the pastebin link has to correspond to your file in pastebin.

local filesToUpdate = {farm.lua = "http://pastebin.com/'Etc2zSyR"}
-- Table for files/pastebin codes
