That's powerpoint (slide presentation). StarOffice knows about it, and
probably other probgrams, but you'll need to poke around in office software,
not graphics software, to find a reader.
Incidentally, you might have done this already, but the first thing to try
when you get mysterious files like this is the "file" command. It's good at
identifying these. In that case, it's not as helpful as one might like but
it would at least have told you that it wan't an image.
