Greetings - I came across libpst when searching for anything that would
let me retrieve my outlook calendar and email from my last job.
Unfortunately I have a PST file that was written with Outlook 2003 so
libpst can't help yet.
What is that funky '// function {{{{1' comments for? Presumably that is
some autodoc format?
I conmpiled the sources under cygwin and fixed up some cosmetic warnings
and errors. For example gcc -wall was complaining that some functions
were declared to return 'int' but they were defined to return 'int32_t'
which is typedef'ed to 'long'. In any case, each one of those functions
actually returned a constant '0' which is kind of useless so they all
should have been 'void'. There were a few other minor problems with
printf formats, etc.
But of cource that doesn't help because the routines barf when they run
across a version '33' that they don't recognize. I'll take a shot at
deriving the format of Outlook 2003 files but if anyone has a suggesting
where I might find some code that already does this, I would be very
gratefull to hear about it.
