It is currently set to encode attachements in MIME. I used winzip to zip the file. Perhaps you could try that instead of pkupzip. If nothing works perhaps someone else on the list could send you a copy, then you might have better results.
The copy I have of Emerson's work on dialling is the second part of his book on geography. It is an original first edition (1770) and not a reprint. Sorry. I dislike handling the book any more than is absolutely necessary, but I have toyed with the idea of making a photocopy of the entire dialling section (approx. 150 pages) once and then putting the book away for safekeeping. The main problem I have with making such a copy is the necessity of pressing the book flat to scan or copy it. I fear for the binding. If I ever do make such a copy I would be more than happy to share it with anyone who wants it. Charles
