I didn't recompile it. Emacs 28 did not recognize ~/.emacs as the
source, but did recognize the ~/.emacs.elc file. I had to ln -s .emacs
.emacs.el to make it work; it then compiled ~.emacs.el into
~/.emacs.d/eln-cache/*.

Seems odd to be shuffling around file names and directories for a
program that is 40 years old this year.

    Thanks,
