Tools should be written so that they may be used from more than one user environment (e.g. programming languages, Problem-Solving Environments, and Visual Programming Interfaces). In addition, tools that solve similar problems need to have similar interfaces so that users can select the best tool for a particular problem. We discuss some of the ways to write such tools, and give examples of interfacing tools to differenc user environments, including Matlab, Corba and DataExplorer
