You can't use CT for SONAR 3 with JAWS 4.51 because the scripts are
optimized for 5.10.  Both SONAR and Sibelius expect a screen resolution
of 1024x768 and there are many other reasons why it was best to script
for that environment.  Imagine a customer who uses both CT and SS.  You
have to have a common platform for those to work.  It isn't a marketing
ploy to extort more money from the poor customer. I am a beta tester for
both products and I assure you that the best decisions were made for the
effectiveness of the product. 
        Lastly, try and imagine trying to synchronize the development
cycles of five products, Sibelius, Sonar, JAWS, CT and SS.  Despite
everyone's best efforts, it's only possible to a point.

Hi Guys:
I tried to download CT for Sonar 3, but it only gave me purchase
options, and sometimes I get messages from internet explorer that the
server cannot be found. Is there any direct way to download the program?
In the mean time, I'd like to express that I am unhappy since I
purchased the package on the understanding that I would get the upgrade
to CT for sonar 3 free. But now, I learn that the upgrade is contingent
on having Jaws 5.1. I only have Jaws 4.51. Is this a marketing thingy
for Jaws or what? Why can't we still use Jaws 4.51 with CT for sonar 3?
Thank you. Douk
