It may be worth asking Quanta - as they had a reprint of the book, there must have been an original file somewhere...

Presuming (of course) that Jan Jones gives her permission for the book to be made freely available.

I have placed a bid on this book.

I have, a few weeks ago, asked Jan Jones for permission to reprint/reformat
it (whatever she agrees to) so a cleaner copy is available to the community
than the scan that is generally available...

If anyone wishes to outbid me, I will make dagger eyes at them, but that's
about all ;)

  Blimey! How do you get 135.5041505? Surely you could let us have twenty
more significant figures?

  Jan Jones, on page 115, says that

    OPEN#3,SCR_137x100 will give a square window. I found that a rounded 135
seemed more accurate.
