So anyone using BIG5 code(Chinese Taiwan) or HZ code(a 7-byte code used on Internet) can not read it directly. Basically, they should have Windows For Chinese Mainland, or they can find a viewer which can handle GB code.
According to the translators, the best place to look for info about reading Chinese characters of different code protocols is the newsgroup "alt.chinese.text" is a good place to go.

"Yes! One can use MS WORD 6.0a English Version for Windows3.x under the Chinese Version Windows. Or one can also use a Windows English Verions with a Chinese Shell such as Chinese Star 2.0 for Windows to handle chinese in MS Word 6.0a.
"But special attention should be paid to arrange the long paragraphs of Chinese characters. For MS Word 6.0 English version can only deal with the one-byte-long charactor, on the contrary chinese charactor is two-byte-long."
