    Tool035 is MIDIsynth. It's a toolset used for creating music 
synthesis; Apple Computer officially introduced in 1992, as part 
of System Software 6.0. I _think_ it was written as a more advanced
alternative to Tool025 and Tool026, which were the note-sequencer
tools. It did not replace them however, so don't delete these two.

    A handful of games and music programs (circa 1990+) make use 
of MIDIsynth, the very first was synthLAB (that is were you'll find 
Tool035 as a matter of fact, look on that disk and drop it in your
/System/Tools folder).
