Tool catalog and tool

The tool catalog contains only "ideal" tools.
"Ideal" tools are characterized by the relevant tool "master data" (i.e.
with ideal tool dimensions, no wear, etc.). An "ideal" tool is uniquely
defined by its "tool name".
The tool cabinet contains only "real" tools.
"Real" tools (i.e. real tool dimensions, with wear, etc.) are
characterized by the relevant tool "offset data". A "real" tool is
uniquely defined by its "tool name" and the associated "Duplo
number". It is the "Duplo number" that assigns actual data to a "real"
tool.
If a connection to a host computer exists, a message is automatically
output to this host computer when a tool is loaded (but not relocated),
unloaded or deleted, and the corresponding data block is transferred.
The data are then still available on the host computer even after the
tool has been deleted.
