Dan is right,

The current file-system heirarch standards call for /usr to be more-or-less
read-only, and logfiles/caches/spools to go into /var.  On systems were
security is important, its nice to
have /var in its own partition (even if its small). Although transarc may
use /usr/vice (and
this usage is old and not up to modern standards), you will note that
transarc *always* puts
/usr/vice into its own partition (and thier manuals warn of grave dangers
if this is not done).
