Bug Description

The ZionWorx (CSV) importer in the song import wizard instructs the user:
"First convert your ZionWorx database to a CSV text file, as explained in the User Manual.", where <User Manual> is a link to this URL [1].

General info about the ZionWorx importer (including which fields it imports) is contained in the ZionWorxImport class docstring [2]. Information about using TdbDataX is also in the wiki [3].

The user must take these steps to convert their ZionWorx database into a CSV file:
1. Download tdbdatax "TurboDB Data Exchange" from dataWeb [4].
   * Windows: tdbdataX.zip
   * Linux: tdbdatax.tar.gz
   * Mac: find a Windows/Linux computer (NB ZionWorx is a windows-only application)
2. Extract the single executable and copy it into the ZionWorx database directory (which contains MainTable.dat)
   * default on Win 7/Vista: C:\ProgramData\ZionWorx\2.6\Data
   * default on Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ZionWorx\2.6\Data
3. Open a command-line/shell in the ZionWorz database directory, and run this command:
   $ tdbdatax MainTable.dat songstable.csv -fsdf -s, -qd
