I think I have used Dia on some old[er] Visio files that I had, but I do 
not remember which Visio version they were made from.

I know that the 3.5.x line is "advertised" in the "Release info" section 
to be able to open Visio files.  So if you try 3.5.3 and Dia, one should 
be able to open your Visio files.

Soon, hopefully, LO will open Publisher files and then with Visio, LO 
will be able to open a file format from all of MS Office "modules" 
instead of just the "normal" business one like word processing, 
spreadsheet, and presentations.  I saw something about work on a 
Publisher importing filter being worked on by someone/somewhere.
