Well, you could do this:
copy infile1.pst + infile2.pst outfile.pst
on the command line and be done with it. Outlook won't be able to do
anything with the result, though. All you are doing is taking one .pst
file and slapping another one on the end of it. .pst's are structured, and
putting two of them end-to-end will undoubtedly result in a bad file.
What you would need to do is figure out the .pst format, and figure out
some way to merge the two of them. But this is the Perl-Beginners list,
not the
Perl-Wizardly-Hackers-With-Knowledge-of-Secret-Unpublished-Microsoft-File-Formats
list. It would be a significant project to reverse engineer those
files. I think some have made some headway into it, but I haven't kept up
with those projects.
Thank you for your time,
Sean.
