What is a tool?

A tool is just a set of files that used to serve your tool, you could use any framework, any technology to build your tool.

Structure of a tool package

- First rule for a tool package is all files & folders must be at root of zipped file, not at any sub-level.

- Second, you may have unlimited files and folder in a tool package, but settings.php & index.php are required files. These only files shall be loaded whenenver tool accessed. You will process and handle all things in these files to serve the visitors.
