You can certainly use PTools for stitching partial panos, but it might
be a bit of overkill in your case (selecting control points, etc.)
Assuming all of your shots are all level and you used a farily
long focal length (> 50mm), I would probably just load them
into photoshop and try to align them manually.
You might also get satisfactory results using a program like
MGI PhotoVista.
I also understand that there that the new photoshop elements
program does limited stitching too, but I haven't tried it:
