OK. I do not have a C compiler here so could not compile the libpst files. I will do that to be able to process standalone pst files without the need for outlook.

I have converted an old sample program I saw on this website to handle any folder in outlook and export messages as text files named msgXXXXX in order. All attachments are also exported in native format with the msgxxxxx tacked on to the beginning of the file.

If anyone is interested, I would be willing to post the working code here. Currently, I just modify the source code to point to the folder to process, but may make a front end to pass as parameters.
