I recall that ages ago there was a long (and almost acrimonious) discussion regarding the possibilities (or lack thereof) of conversion between traditional and simplified Chinese.
Well, I just ran across this app:
It's Shareware, but it may not be open source. Nevertheless, taking the thing for a spin and maybe bugging the author with one or two questions surely can't hurt. The app is for Mac OS X however, so for those poor souls^W^W of us who don't have access to a Mac, you could either try pearPC (but if you're only doing it to run this app, then that's using heavy artillery to aim for sparrows) or see if you can email the author anyway. I do have a Mac, but sadly I don't understand Chinese.
Anyway, I just meant to sent this to the list *just in case* it's of use.
