The ACER FFS is for SCO; SCO or ACER would have to give you info, or you'd have to buy an ACER branded version (if they still sell them) and dabble in the include files. There are several recent papers, at least one of which os a Usenix paper (Spring 93?) which deal with VIVA. FTP to usenix.org (an alias for a machine at the University of Utah) to download many recent Usenix papers (and some older ones...).
