Has anyone else been having problems with "name association" on
STSC's APL v.10 for the IBM PC?

On my old vanilla IBM PC and my Toshiba T1000, the function
"examples" in their provided workspace gives syntax errors; and,
worse, my own functions load and attach properly, but hang the
machine when they run.  One briefly appearing error said the
coprocessor was sent a nan.

"Name association" is why I upgraded to v.10.  It allows
subroutines in Fortran and C, compiled with certain specific
compilers, to be brought into the interpreter as locked APL
functions.  The possibility of using the LINPACK and EISPACK
routines on the fly is very attractive.

Before I send STSC a floppy disk, I would like to know if anyone
has gotten "name association" to work properly on their PC.
Thanks very much!
