Thanks. I found that, and installed it and got the same message. Here:
RTools version 3.4
install.packages("fAsianOptions_3010.tar.gz", dependencies=TRUE,
repos=NULL, type = "source")

That worked. Thank you, especially for that last one!
So, for others who might encounter this same situation:
1. Install RTools from here:
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/Rtools34.exe
Trying to install Rtools from inside RStudio will result in an "it's
not
available for 3.4.2" message.
2. Install the following dependencies: timeDate, timeSeries, fBasics,
fOptions
3. Download fAsianOptions from here:
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/fAsianOptions/fAsianOptions_3010.79.tar.gz
and prob from here:
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/prob/prob_1.0-0.tar.gz
4. Unzip each into its own directory.
5. Use this to install each, as appropriate:
install.packages("~/Downloads/fAsianOptions",
dependencies=TRUE, repos=NULL, type = "source")
