If those pst files were created in the new Unicode format (which is the
default format in Outlook 2003) then you are out of luck. You will need to
open them in Outlook 2003, create a new pst file in Outlook 97-2002 format
and copy the data across to that pst file.

Can I download a copy of the 2003 program from somewhere?

Not AFAIK - you can download a trial copy of Office 2007, which uses the
same format pst file and use that to create backwards-compatible pst
files...
