  or 8 byte file address.

  4-digit hexadecimal record ID.
  ZVFAC FILE ALL - file all delay file pending candidates.

  Segment cvf8.asm was updated to parse the new options on the
  ZVFAC command.
  
  Segment vf0ac.mac and c_vfac.h were updated to support the new
  ZVFAC option.
  
  COREQS: NO
  None.
