TCM (Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling) is a suite of graphical editors
7
for a number of graphical notation systems that are used in software
8
specification methods. The notations can be used to represent the
9
conceptual structure of the software - hence the name of the suite.
11
For each notation that TCM supports there is a distinct editor.
12
In the startup program you see for each editor a colored button with the
13
name of the editor and next to it the corresponding notation system.
14
By clicking this button you start up an editor.
