I'm moving the Telecom Digest to a new server, and I'm seeking
information about a binary named "entities", and one named "fixup".

If they work on the old server, then you can run them on some sample input
and compare the input with the output to see what is being changed. If it's
just mapping html entities, it should be easy

No, they work on the old server, but fail on the new. I assume it's a
permissions issue, but I can't figure out what might cause it.

multiple projects.
What I noticed is that one of the entities was &pount; (instead of £)
