Thank you for the reply. I'm happy there's someone here that can help a beginner.
I did just try the client.pem and I got the same errors:
Error creating PKCS#12 structure
5356:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:.\crypto\pem\pem_lib
.c:637:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY

\pkcs12\p12_crt.c:85:
A few things to note:
I'm building and running under windows XP, and have followed the instructions in INSTALL.W32.
I also made a change recommended to get rid of patent-related code:
:\> perl Configure no-rc5 no-idea VC-WIN32
After the build, the tests all come out as OK.
Also, as I couldn't find the make file for the pkwrite program, I've built it myself within the GUI for Visual Studio.
Finally, I had to remove all the compiler options (as I mentioned before) otherwise any calls to the openssl libraries seem to caus ea crash. This was mentioned in a thread from months ago, I think.
Thanks again for the help.

What PEM files did you try: client.pem in the apps directory is one which
should work. The program is expecting a certificate followed by its
corresponding private key.
