It  is  a  complete falsehood to claim that the OE DBX format predates
the PST format, or that the PST format "change[d] the format" from the
DBX format in some sort of evolutionary path.

The ANSI PST format has existed since the debut of the Exchange Client
(4.0)  in  1996,  at  which  time  the  app that would later be called
Outlook  Express was still Internet Mail and News, and did not yet use
the DBX format.

PSTs  from  EC 4.0 can be read by later versions of Outlook; the first
non-backward-compatible  revision  to  the  format was the Unicode PST
introduced  with  Outlook  2003. In counterpoint, the OE 5+ DBX format
was  changed  from  the  OE 4- MBX format, which in fact makes the DBX
format the more "new-fangled" of the two ANSI formats.
