Course Technology PTR, 2007

Scotty baby, you did it again!
I purchased Scott's Sonar 7 a few weeks ago and have had time to digest it, and put it to use. This is a great reference for Sonar 7 users. Of course it's going to overlap with the "official" manual, it has to. It is written in a clear, concise, readable style. ...
