Right. Unfortunately I don't remember all the details now, but I ran
into a lot of dead ends and unsatisfactory results. With Odessa, the
online converter never worked for me. They offered to have me send
them the file in email for conversion, but I kept getting a quota
error for their mail account! We were never able to resolve that. :)

I thought that using Visio with Virtual PC was the most reasonable
options. I'd be glad to hear about other paths that might work.
