I really need to know if there is a good program to 

1: scan in images into 320x200x256 mode
2: edit that scan and save it out as .pcx to be used as sprites

I have a logitech scanman 32, a 386 with 4 meg ram and a fairly steep hate
for Ms Windows.  Id prefer a commercial product; as I have really had it
with shareware programs!!! I have yet to find one that will do what
I need it to do which is to scan in the image then color it.

Why not use the Grey Touch (tm), blech software with the SM32? it will only
scan in hig res modes, it wont support 320x200 in any form only the
640X480 ect. modes.

This is really enough to make me want to punch this **** computer, like
most of you Ive been working on a shareware here for a number of years,
only to be hung up by some problem at every turn, now its image capturing.

any ideas on this folks?

corel draw?
Pcpaintbrush 5+?
Deluxe Paint II+? 
Help?

email or post.
