Hi,

   I am running wine-0.9.56-1.fc7 on a Fedora 7 system. I installed Visio 5
(must be around 10 years old!). The Visio seems stable when running under
wine, the graphics are good and I can save the vsd files under wine.

   Two small problems

1. Unable to save complex diagrams to jpg or gif. For example, there is an
Office furniture template which includes walls, chairs and tables. The
simple items such as walls are displayed in the gif or jpeg or png. The more
comples items such as chairs and tables are not visible in the exported
format of the visio diagram.

2. Unable to print image to cups-pdf. I thought I would get round problem 1
by printing the Visio image to a PDF. I installed cups-pdf under Fedora and
this support pdf print from a "native" linux application. However, when I
print from Visio under Wine, and select cups-pdf as the print destination,
the output is routed to the physical printer, rather than a pdf.
