Enroute Imaging has software called "QuickStitch" which is designed
primarily for assembling panoramic pictures out of a series of overlaping
images.  It will handle vertical as well as horizontal (or both) pictures
to complete the whole.
Haven't tried it myself but the demo I saw of it was pretty impresive.

I know it comes free with the Olympus Digital cameras.  The program itself
is around $100, but for $300-400 more you also get a neat digital camera!
