how to convert a pst file without Outlook?

[Nomen Nescio]

In a couple of jobs, I was forced to use Outlook.
I saved my e-mails to a CD or USB drive on my last
day at these employers, and recently I wished
to examine some of them. I have not Outlook on my home
PC. I installed Word, Excel, Powerpoint (2003) but the
setup CD was later purloined by an ex-boyfriend.
Now just about every program to import a pst file
insists that you have Outlook installed. I download the
demo of some crap costing $49, and when I ran it, it asks
me to insert the Office installation CD (the vendor's
website didn't say that Outlook is needed hmmm).
I came across one that claimed to import a pst on a
Linux system, but also found several forum posts that
said it doesn't extract e-mails successfully.
Is their some application which does?

You could download and install the trial of Office 2007 for this (and then
choose to only install Outlook).
It might be a long download but then at least your sure the data doesn't get
corrupted.
