How do I use the VI Server protocol from non-LabVIEW apps?

[unDees]

Has NI published a specification of the VI Server (port 3363) protocol anywhere? It would be nice to be able to connect to LabVIEW and run a VI from non-ActiveX-friendly development environments, without writing a custom TCP listener on the LabVIEW side.

That information is NI proprietary. There is not going to be any information on the protocol on NI's site and they are not going to part with it. You might try looking on google or http://www.searchview.net/ to see if someone has taken a crack at hacking the protocol.
