Last week there was a request for help with converting
files in GB code to BIG5 and the other way round.

In the August 1988 issue of the German language magazine
"Chinesisch & Computer" there was an article about a utility
named SINOCODE. I don't have any experience with the program
but I pass on the information anyway, maybe it is helpful to
somebody.

SINOCODE was developed at the University of Bremen/Germany.
It runs on PCs ***without!*** any Chinese operating system.

You can choose between the following conversions:

        1) GB 2312-80   -->     BIG5
        2) GB 2312-80   -->     IBM 555
        3) BIG5         -->     GB 2312-80
        4) BIG5         -->     IBM 555
        5) IBM 555      -->     BIG5
        6) IBM 555      -->     GB 2312-80
