I have a DEST PC Scan 1000 and it worked with different programs like
DEST Publish Pac V2.0, DEST Text Pac V2.3, PC-Paintbrush+ V1.20, ...

Now  I have changed to DOS Version 4.0 and Windows Version 3 and all these
programmes do not work for different reasons. Either they require Windows 
Version 1 (yes, ONE) which will not run under DOS 4.0, or they make problems
when I try to run them under the control of Windows 3 etc.

In addition I was told, that the DEST-company does not exist anymore. I got
the advice to throw the scanner away and buy a new one and new software and ...

Has anybody a better solution for my problem which does not require to throw a
fully functioning scanner away?  Does anybody know whether this scanner is
compatible to another scanner, which has support? Is any software for this
scanner available which will run under DOS 4.0 and Windows 3?
