I'm hesitant to bother replying, as we learned earlier that
your idea of complicated does not match established norms.

That said, here is an (untested) unvac command:

	#!/bin/rc
	if(! ~ $#* 2){
		echo 'usage: unvac file.vac directory'
		exit 1
	}
	rfork n
	vacfs $1 || exit
	mkdir -p $2 || exit
	dircp /n/vac $2
