Solution  --> C5 Syncrhonizer.  Shipping now.  They can tag the files
they want, it does backups, and a whole lot more.
Steps to make it work.....
1. Import your files one by one into a blank dct
2. Run synchronizer from Clarion Data table DCT to Topspeed Data Table
DCT
3. Select GENERATE CONVERSION CODE ONLY  (this is not the default and
I think it should be)
3. Get a cup of coffee
4. Tweak the matching
5. Click ok
6. Open Convert.prj (it doesn't give you a choice so make sure you
change the names of any Convert.clw that you want to keep)
7. Edit Files that end in numbers to tweak the assignments.
8. Compile the program
9. Test it.
10. Ship it
11. Thank Alexey for his work on this.
