CSR run some support newsgroups. They're open to everyone including
hobby developers. Instructions on using them are are:

http://www.csr.com/forum.htm

Use the same etiquette as you would for an open source development
mailing list (such as bluez-devel). That is, read the FAQ, post
polite but detailed questions, and remember that the support on those
newsgroups is free so it may take time for someone to get round to
answering your question and stupid, frequently asked or RTFM questions
may be ignored. If you mention you've been told to forward your question
there, then you're more likely to get a prompt response.

Explain on the newsgroup what it is you're trying to do rather than
just stating that you need PSTool. Depending on the precise nature of
the problem there may be other solutions and the more interesting the
problem the more likely you are to get a reply.
