SYMPTOMS
========

If your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, or SYSTEM.INI file has 512 or more lines,
MemMaker displays the following error message:

  MemMaker cannot continue because the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, or Windows
  SYSTEM.INI file is too long. The file must be less than 512 lines long

  * To undo MemMaker's changes, press ENTER.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, exit MemMaker, reduce the size of the file that is
causing the error, and restart MemMaker.
