RE: How to open MS Publisher files
Bad news is that .pub files contain a lot of win gdi information in them
(which is why if you've ever used publisher and taken files from one computr
to another, things aren't always quite where you put them esp when printing)
and so I assume you couldn't write an app to open them in *nix without ref
to a gdi library. Aside from using publisher itself under qemu, wine etc
etc, you could ask the person who sent you the file to provide an eps or
postscript file, which I think publisher can make.

Subject: How to open MS Publisher files
I am really stumped here. I was sent a file formatted as MS Publisher (.pub)
&
asked to print it. Yep, I shot off my yap & said MS did not make a format
that some Debian app could not open. Well for the first time in several
years
it appears that I was somewhat in error. Any ideas???
Thanks.
