What is the difference between software tools and software packages?

[Edit]

Answer

A software tool is a single program that lets you perform complex tasks. A suite is simply a collection of related programs that are sold as a bundle.

Some software tools perform only one task and are limited. Software packages are a mix of tools and come together as a system. For example, MentorsoftPRO, it has statistical analysis tools for plotting diagrams, charts and scientific experiments, it has training videos that apply to Lean Six Sigma methodology, and it has a project tracking management system, which all together make a package. Any one of these can be seperated as a tool. Look at this at http://www.dbar-innovations.com to get a better understanding.
