Continue with Visio 2k.  As each Visio illustration is completed,
output a GIF for the eventual HTML version and a PDF for
embedding/linking on the Frame side.  Use the same filename, just
different extensions.  Save to the same folder.

The PDF-ed illustrations will play nice with Frame: all Adobe.
There isn't an output filter for PDF in Visio.  You need to "print
to PDF" or whatever distilling operation is normal for you.

When you output the HTML, open the files and globally replace ".pdf"
with ".gif".  If ".pdf" might occur in the HTML outside of an IMG
source attribute, standardize on a slightly different naming scheme.
 You might name everything `*_.pdf` and `*_.gif`.
