Colleagues,

I wish to execute a task only if a particular file is newer than a second file. I can access the file modification dates using file.info()$mtime.
This yields a time object (? POSIX).
                        size    isdir   mode    mtime                           
        ctime
        Testfile        4421    FALSE   755     2009-10-23 08:59:09             
2009-10-23 08:59:09
What is the simplest means to compare these two objects?

R2.9.1 in OSX, Windows, Linux
