I added these updates to my own archive including allowing any number of the
'extensions' to be installed at once and uninstalled separately. A .inf file
is built on-the-fly for each extension.

I also fixed the uninstall so that it doesn't leave the extra registry keys
around. This seems to be a bug from the original DOS Prompt Here power toy.

The file is available at www.glencoakley.org. Enter the site and find the
Cygwin link. I don't recommend linking directly to it because my site host
has changed twice since this I created this and I am trying to set up a
system to host it myself. But, I own the domain and don't plan on changing
that.

You will find that the old link below still works but has NOT been updated.
This is because I don't have an account with that ISP anymore but they
haven't bothered to purge the files yet.

I am not on the list so please send/copy any replies to me directly.
