OK, I'll bite:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun 15 04:02:51 1987  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

	* Version 18.47 released.

	* fileio.c (Fwrite_region): Check result from fsync.

Fri Jun 12 21:41:36 1987  Chris Hanson  (cph at prep)

	* terminfo.c (tparam): Handle the outstring == 0 case by
	allocating a result of the correct size.

Fri Jun 12 11:50:21 1987  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

	* terminfo.c (tparam): Kludge the outstring == 0 case.
	Accept (and ignore) the buffer-length argument.

	* s-iris3-5.h: Remove defines of IRIS35 and PURESIZE.

	* fileio.c (Fwrite_region) [VMS]:
	Write under temp name and rename, to avoid auto-deletion

	move it only to the next newline.

	Recognize .dir in uc or lc and followed by either .1 or ;1.
	* fileio.c (directory_file_name) [VMS]:
	Append .DIR.1 in upper case.
	* fileio.c: Delete calls to lower_case.
	* fileio.c: #ifndef VMS around decls or errno, sys_errlist, etc.

	* sysdep.c (getwd for VMS): Upcase the filename.
	* sysdep.c (lower_case): Delete this function and all calls.

	* dired.c (file_name_completion): Obey completion-ignore-case
	by using scmp instead of bcmp.
