When assembling a source file with an include file that contains a
CTRL+Z, the assembler generates the error message, "A2106: line too
long."

A workaround is to use the MS-DOS Copy command with the "/a" option,
as in the following:

copy /a test.asm test2.asm

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.
