Default Opening old Visio files...

Any version of Visio can open Visio files created in any previous version of
Visio. Including Visio 1.0.

The Visio Viewer is more limited and will only open Visio files since Visio
5.

Hello,

Someone sent me a Visio file that was created with a very
old pre-Microsoft version of Visio. Is there any way to
open it in the current Visio viewer or are there any
conversion utilities for this situation? (I don't have a
full version of Visio, just the viewer.) I don't know if
this is a coherent question. I had never heard of Visio
before receiving this file and don't know much about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
