You could try the Draw->WMF convertor. I found this worked very well as a
middle step to converting Drawfiles to use on websites. You may already have
something on Windows that can view those, but there are free viewers /
convertors to download.

I also have a vague recollecton of exporting to SVG many years ago. Can't
remember what I used, though. DrawPlus? Vector? Possibly even Draw.

If you have access to a Linux m/c you could use Jonathon Marten's DrawView to
convert them to PDF.
