3. Send VLL command to another device (it actually mentions the Code Pilot,
which puzzles me since I didn't think it supported VLL)

| An addendum to my previous post. The VLL section of this newsgroup also mentions: 1. A user-written package WINVLL that supports the USB tower and the Microscout. 2. That the Code Pilot does support VLL. (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics)
