AFAIK, the visio file format is still secret and aparently obfuscated.
There are some people who have put a bounty on producing a visio file
conversion utility, but nothing has been produced yet.
At the moment, I think the most likely way that we will get an import
filter is with Microsoft's help. Since they recently bought visio and are
in `lets use XML for everything' mode, they may release a version of visio
that can save in an XML format that does not loose information. This
would probably be a lot easier to convert.
This does not really help much at the moment though. You can probably
shorten your EPS -> TIFF conversion process a bit though. Try the
following command:
pstopnm epsfile.eps | pnmtotiff > tifffile.tiff
