ALCore is an application which runs on the Technological Arts MicroCore HC11 processor.  The processor is used for the low level control of most MAX / REX and AL based mobile robots.  These commands can be entered manually with any basic terminal program (like Hyperterminal) or used to control a robot with a higher level program running on another computer.
