2.3 Roles of Each Tool Working under the TM
The TM works in close cooperation with many tools. Some of these tools have GUI as WindowsTM programs, and
others such as the C compiler or assembler or the GNU Make command operate at the back end of the TM.
The diagram below schematically shows the primary tools controlled by the TM.

■ Project Bar

The project Bar plays the central role of the TM, helping to accomplish a linked startup of each tool. To start the TM,
you start the Project Bar. To exit the TM, you close the Project Bar.
Fig. 2-4 Project Bar
When you start the Project Bar, the TM creates a process named the “server” which exchanges tool linkage
information.3
3 Should a problem occur such as when the TM terminates abnormally, the “server” process may remain active without being closed. In such a case,
because the TM cannot be restarted under this condition, press the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys to bring up “Close Program” (Task Manager) and close the
server.
