PhotoStyler has the ability to resample pictures to any resolution, and
it can save as PCX.  As an editing program, it is one of the most 
full-featured.  Its interface is rather clunky, requiring one to do a lot
of mousercises across the screen to modify the parameters of the most basic
of touch-up functions.

CorelDraw Photo-Paint and Cricket Paint 1.0 can scale.  Cricket Paint is
a pretty good paint program, but it's a bit slow (on a DX2-66, no less).

Although you said you hate Shareware, PaintShop Pro will also resample
images very well.  All the above programs run under Windows 3.1 (so more
so than others :)
