Extensis Phototools and PS CS

I’ve owned PS CS for quite some time now, and every time I install it, I wind up uninstalling it within the hour. And it all comes down to Extensis Phototools. Over the years, I’ve become very dependent on them. I’m proficient with several of the filters, and I incorporate them into many of my website designs, especially font decoration.
So I’ve got several dozen websites that have title and button graphics that are created with Photobevel, Photoglow, Photogroove, etc. I’ve got information saved in the PSD files telling me how to duplicate an effect with Phototools so that it matches the rest of the site.
From everything that I’ve seen, there is virtually nothing that I can do to get Phototools running with PS CS. I’ve seen old web pages talking about a mythical version 3.0.6 which doesn’t exist anywhere these days.
Does anyone know if there is any hope for me? Will I ever be able to get Phototools running on CS, or am I trapped in 5.5 forever?
If worse came to worse and I had to abandon Phototools, is there anything similar on the market that is still being supported? Also, I’d like to have something like Photobars, too.

Why not use the Bevel and Glow Layer Styles that exist in Photoshop? I remember Phototools from ancient times and IMHO it’s obsolete.

I have Extensis Photo Edges and it won’t install under CS because ADOBE spell there exe file Photoshop.exe. My version of Extensis looks for an older version of Photoshop, (old versions from about ver 6 it think, spelt it Photoshp.exe ) Simple fix, i made a copy of the Photoshop.exe file and renamed it Photoshp.exe , now extensis installs and works like a breeze.

I use Phototools 3.06 which was later updated (but the build was still called 3.06) which allows photobars to work perfectly in CS but NOT in CS"
