Another two programs similar to C2C are:

1] Loquisoft's ContactCopy(USD 49.95 perpetual license, per PC):
http://www.loquisoft.com/?page=7
ContactCopy – transferr contact info from virtually any source to Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel, etc., with just a mouse click

contactCopy automatically recognizes the country of contact data based on address format, the language used in address elements and a place-name database. contactCopy automatically adds
the country to the postal address , the country code to phone and fax numbers (ideal for synchronization with mobile phones)

For developers:

RecogniContact/Web – RecogniContact as a Web service
RecogniContact/COM – RecogniContact as a Windows COM component

2] AddressGrabber Std/Business (USD 69.95/129.95) :
http://www.egrabber.com/
must pay for every point upgrade - :(

The OP leads me to think - which non-MS addressbook/ PIM/contact Mgr works well with vcf and contact copy solutions like those above ?

None of these copy contact solutions have their own addressbook.

"DevRoadmaps is about .NET development in general, not Clarion.NET development in particular. Clarion Magazine is still the place to find Clarion.NET information (at such time as the .NET AppGen is available and usable).  Whether you're using Clarion.NET or non-Clarion tools, I believe you'll find DevRoadmaps.com to be a vital source of information for your .NET business software development."
