Do any better options exist than PST2GB & SCANPST ? My
file reached 2.069GB then died. Recovering most emails
but zero calendar entries and little contact data.

thanks for any help / suggestions!

Nope, not really... restoring a backup would be best. :) Also, if you have
Outlook 2003, you should use a Unicode pst in the future. If Outlook 2003
isn't in your future, you'll need to manage the pst better to avoid data
lose in the future.

You could try a hex editor - make 3 copies of the pst. Snip several megs
from one end of one copy, several megs from the other end of another copy
and some from the middle of the third then scanpst each one to repair.
*Hopefully* you'll lose different data from each and can recover some/all of
your contacts and calendar.
