====================================================================

CMPAL (Connection Manager PowerAccess Launcher) is a small 32bit Windows
utility to automatically locate and launch PowerAccess from whatever drive
the user decided to install it to.

CMPAL searches local harddrives for \powracc\powracc.exe and if found, it
launches it. CMPAL does not search for PowerAccess on removable drives,
network drives or CD-ROMs. It does search on a RAMdisk, if present :-)

Once CMPAL has found PowerAccess, it stores the path to it in the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DPSoft\CMPAL\PaccPath. Next time around, it tries
to launch PowerAccess from that path first, so it doesn't have to search the
drives, as long as the PowerAccess location remains the same.

By manually editing the registry (under HKEY_USERS) you can define different
paths for different Windows users and have CMPAL launch PowerAccess from the
path you configured for that Windows user.
