Well I just used CoCEd (
http://fenoxo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/57-coced-a-save-editor/ ) to open the *.coc file and then save it as a *.sol file and open that with CoC.
I used the Import option under open then CoCEd warned me about not loading a slot save that way. And telling me I should save to file. after that it let me open it as an external file.
After opening it as an external file I saved it to game slot 4 and opened it normally in CoC
