hi laur,

after three attempts to explain the win-user that i have no visio, 
visio-viewer, ms-windows, internet-explorer, ... and that it might be 
possible to save the file as *.gif, *.jpg, ...
i gave up.

the win-user was not able to save his visio-file as *.jpg
and attach to his email.

i can not wait until tomorrow :-(

(search and find the  moc  with  visio-enterprise)

wine:
i have tried a newer wine, no succes with the visio-installation

crossover-trial:
after filling the necessary form
i got no email with the download-url just now

vmware:
no problems with the visio-installation
"open" *.vsd, "save as"  *.jpg
no problems with nautilus, netscape, gimp, ...

with .dxf and dia i had no luck :-(

other-(not_tested)supported-formats:
.ps .eps .png .pxt .pcx .gif .tif .bmp .ai .dwg .dxf .dgn .vml ...



is there really no prog available for *.vsd ?
