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. Gerald Pfeifer <gerald@FreeBSD.org>

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.)
