That, along with all the other compression utilities I could find on my current system, failed with a "not really a compressed file" message. Perhaps MS are muddying the waters with this version of the file format, as closer inspection reveals that the files is mostly nulls and compresses very well, suggesting that it isn't in fact a compressed file at all. My current workaround is to use Visio within qemu to export the data to a tiff file. Raster isn't ideal, but the conversion to encapsulated postscript was very poor and I can force the pixel count high enough to make a reasonably good printout. Cheers, Roy.
