The ToolTalk service enables independent applications to communicate with each other without having direct knowledge of each other. Applications create and send ToolTalk messages to communicate with each other. The ToolTalk service receives these messages, determines the recipients, and then delivers the messages to the appropriate applications. ToolTalk is designed to make it easy to put a messaging interface on any application, regardless of whether the application.

"/TT_DB" is where the tooltalk database files reside.

Hope this helps,
