   I have used PC Paintbrush IV, and was disappointed in how it ran.  It 
does support a vast selection of video cards, BUT, and it is a BIG BUT, 
it will not run any of them in the 256 color mode above the MCGA 320x200 
mode.  PC-P IV does not know of the existence of EMS or XMS memory!  You 
are limited to the 640K DOS limit.

   Now, PC Paintbrush IV Plus will do all of what you asked.  It 
recognizes EMS/XMS memory, will turn the excess hard drive space into 
virtual memory if needed, and supports most hand-held scanners from 
within the program.  The cost is a bit steeper, but if you are doing any 
work at all in the Super VGA modes, it is well worth the coins.
