Nothing really. You don't need it.


Here's a hint from one of the MS advisories:

=====
Dvwssr.dll is a server-side component used to support the Link View
feature in Visual Interdev 1.0. However, it contains an  unchecked
buffer. If overrun with random data, it could be used to cause an
affected server to crash.
