Assuming that MSPublisher files are compatible across 
systems, perhaps someone on list who owns MSPublisher 
could volunteer to take his files and save them as text or 
even as Postscript.  From that point the files would be in text 
or easily convertible to text. The formatting would be lost of 
course but I know of no product that will save that.
