After way too long, I'm finally getting around to upgrading from Emacs
21.3.1 to Emacs 23.4.1. I downloaded the precompiled Windows version
from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-23.4-bin-i386.zip,
unpacked it, and created a Windows shortcut to bin/runemacs.exe. The OS
is Windows XP SP3.
When I start up the new version, it finds that I've got an
initialization file at C:/.emacs, and it looks like some of the Lisp
code that works under 21.3.1 no longer works under 23.4.1. For the
moment I want to keep both versions installed. Is there some way to
have the different versions initialize themselves from different .emacs
files? Alternatively, is there some Lisp code I can insert to test
which version of Emacs is running, so I can conditionalize the code to
do the right thing for each version?
