These seem to be the official test data files. They are also downloadable from
various Chinese websites, including :

http://www.siisa.net.cn/epublish/gb/paper1/20010626/class000100004/hwz245.htm

http://www.foundertype.com/english/web/product/test.htm

The former page has full explanations of the test procedure ... basically, to be
able to open each of the test files, and correctly* display and print the entire
contents of the page (comparing the results with the official GB 18030-2000 code
tables); and to be able to open and edit random.txt.

* N.B. "correctly" means "according to the glyphs in the code charts" for
Tibetan (Zang.txt) and Mongolian (Meng.txt).

Regards,

Andrew
