Big5 is a Chinese encoding...  Why do you want to open a (lose)DOS  
file with a Mac encoding? Didn't I write:

What is your problem? Reading? Understanding? Mac OS X? GNU or  
Aquamacs Emacs? The whole for humans much too complicated world?


So, as a friendly and helpful member of this list: get the completely  
unchanged and original version of your file and (re-)open it in some - 
dos encoding! I already mentioned three possible Code Pages and I am  
recommending now and explicitly to start with cp1252-dos and possibly  
retry with cp1250-dos encodings. (I am not a Losedos user, so I am  
missing some details and am trying to use what is left as my so-called  
brain.)
