AB  - The Very Large Telescope (VLT) project of ESO consists of an array of four optical telescopes of 8 m diameter, to be installed at a new site in the Atacama desert in Chile starting in 1995. The control software is completely distributed, being based on LANs interconnecting microprocessors and work­stations, where several users and operators will be active at the same time. Microprocessors are used in a variety of control func­tions, including the active control of the shape of the main mirror and compensation for atmospheric turbulence. Dedicated links and antennas are planned for direct com­munication and remote observation from various European centers. The main concepts and novelties of the software design are explained.
