I've always heard Deluxe Paint was good, but I can only find ver III (3) on E-Bay right now.  Would IV (4) or V (5) be better or have tools that would make getting an earlier version a mistake?

If you only need OCS-Screenmodes Deluxe Paint III is IMO even better than Dpaint IV & V. I used it religiously in the 80s and 90s. Be sure to get the manual as well because it teaches all the essential tricks.

Damn I really loved using that program. Too bad it doesn´t run without emulation on AmigaOS 4. I´d pay $200 for a decent 64Bit Windows version of DPaint.

EDIT: I just tried "MyPaint" under Windows. Just like Gimp they didn´t even include a line-, rectangle- or circle-tool. Why? These are the most basic functions ever and they are useful when you want to draw guidance lines that help you positioning stuff. This is disappointing.
