The only thing that comes to mind is to change the key field values on the
duplicated keys to something that does not already exist.

The easiest way to accomplish that would be to create a duplicate of your
file with no records.  Then create a program that will read the records in
the current file and change the key field values if a record exists in the
duplicated file with the same key values.  When updating the record, you
would then write the record to the duplicated file.  Make sure you use FEOD
when you do this though.

You will, of course, have to do this before adding the UNIQUE keyword and
recompiling the file.

Hope that helps.
