I believe that the ISAP91 model is newer then the JB tables so I would use it. I'm 
not sure about the AK135 (sounds like a gun ) model.

The only thing you can do is interpolate between the two points in the table. Here is 
the C code used in WQ to do the interpolation;

double interpol(double x, double y, double a, double b, double point)
{
	return(a + ((point - x) * ((b - a) / (y - x))));
}

Hope this helps.
