Acucorp's Vision File specification.

I am looking any information regarding the vision file format,
hopefully a specification, or at least some information on the length
of the header.

That is proprietary information. To customers who need to access
Vision from a C program or other non-COBOL program Acucorp (or now
Micro Focus) can supply a Vision File Interface. You'll need to
contact a sales rep and go throught the legal paperwork to get this.

Afaik each file has a haeder of one block (512 or 1024 bytes). The two bytes
on offset 4 and 5 contains the vision version number (2...5). The contents
of the header depends on the vision version (at least the user count has a
different position for each version - I investigated it because we had some
trouble with the user count)
