A51 limits

Hello,

I use a rather old version of A51 (V5.52b) and L51 (V3.52), both MS-DOS executables.
Yesterday I got this error from the assembler:

A51 FATAL ERROR - ERROR: LIMIT EXCEEDED: TOO MANY EXTERNALS (256)
A51 TERMINATED.

I write assembly similar to C, putting externals in *.INC files and the implementation in *.A51

When a module includes many include-files the limit of 256 externals can be reached rather soon.

Another thing I don't like in my older version is that when I declare an external symbol but don't use the linker complains about this missing external.

Q: is the actual A51 package still so limited?
