Wine is a Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (or program loader)
capable of running Windows applications on i386 and compatible CPUs.
Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running
without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with
a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
Many applications already work, more or less, including versions of
Microsoft Office and several games.

This is the Hanzi Converter, which converts between GB and BIG-5 codes.
The program converts a GB file to a BIG-5 file, or a BIG-5 file to a GB file.
GB (GuoBiao) refers to the standard implementation of "GB2312-80" of
Mainland China, in which the two bytes representing a GB code have their
most significant bit set to 1. BIG-5 refers to the Big Five standard
published in 1984 by Taiwan's Institute for Information Industry.
Description:
Using /usr/bin/telnet in "8-bit environment", for example, BIG5-
encoding Chinese characters environment in Taiwan, is somewhat in-convenient.
To be able to input Chinese characters, "-8 or -L" options are needed,
however, using these options cause another problem. Specifying "-8 or -L"
makes ^U or ^C or ^D or ... (any isprint(c)) malfunction when telnet to SunOS.
How-To-Repeat:
/usr/bin/telnet -8 ms1.hinet.net (ms1.hinet.net running Solaris)
login: abcde^U (or just press Enter)
=> the terminal state goes wrong, "reset" is needed to go back
to "normal state"
Fix:
Apply the following patch:
gopher://freebsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw/00%2f3%2fA0002063
This make telnet "8-bit clean", being able to input 8-bit data (Chinese
characters) without specifying "-8 or -L" options, and telnet to SunOS
without trouble.

autossh is a program to start a copy of ssh and monitor it, restarting
it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic.
The original idea and the mechanism were from rstunnel (Reliable SSH
Tunnel). With this version the method changes: autossh uses ssh to
construct a loop of ssh forwardings (one from local to remote, one
from remote to local), and then sends test data that it expects to
get back. (The idea is thanks to Terrence Martin.)
