PowerPoint Help!

I own and use Microsoft PowerPoint 2.0 and have been very happy
with it.  Until recently, my only requirements have been to 
produce overheads for presentations.  However, I now have an
opportunity to give a presentation using color slides.  Un-
fortunately, I found out last night that if you wish to produce
these color slides, you must send them to Genigraphics at a 
modest $12.00/slide fee or just view them on your screen!
Since I am only a student, and do not wish to send my rent
money to some company to produce a hand full of slides and have
therefore come upon a problem.  The only formats that PowerPoint
save in is PPT and the Genigraphics extension.

My question is as follows:

Has any aspiring programmer written a driver that can transform
a PPT file into scodl (?) format, or some other more common
format that a media center might be able to use.  Our media
center is able to translate a very large number of different
formats, however, when you mention PowerPoint and PPT they 
are not able to offer any assistance.  

Better yet, has anyone found a way around this by capturing
the file and saving it into a different format?

I'm curious if other users have come across this problem.
Any suggestions?
