Problem:

When I include a file that ends with a CTRL+Z, the error message
"A2106: Line Too Long" appears.

Response:

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.10. We are
researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes
available.

You can work around this problem by using the following DOS copy
command:

copy oldfilename /a newfilename

This procedure copies the old filename to the new filename up to, but
not including, the CTRL+Z.
