MS Outlook File decoder for troubleshooting

Hello,

I am looking for the MS Outlook File decoder for troubleshooting. Does
anyone know where I can get the File decoder program?

Also where does the Outlook Calendar binary file reside on the hard drive?

Thanks in advance for your help. It's much appreciated.

Outlook information is stored in the .pst file. Where did you hear about
this "File decoder program"?

Here is the link:

"The primary purpose of the Calendar logging feature is to quickly identify
situations where, for example, meetings are inexplicably deleted from a
Calendar folder. To help protect customer data, the Calendar log file is a
binary file that cannot be read without a conversion process. You should
contact Microsoft Services for additional information about this procedure."

I was hoping I didn't need to contact MS.

It looks like MS is going to charge me. Does anyone have experience with
reading the Outlook Calendar log file that is save as a binary file? Thanks.
