[MiKTeX] MetaPost memory

[José C. S. <jcs...@fc...>]

Hi all,

While trying to compile some MetaPost files under MiKTeX 2.9, I got the 
error:

! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=50000].

Under MiKTeX 2.8, there was the command line option --main-memory=n 
(although I never used it), but the MiKTeX 2.9 manual doesn't mention it:

http://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/mpost.html

So, my question is: is it possible (and, if so, how) to increase the 
main memory of MetaPost under MiKTeX 2.9?

Best regards,

Jose Carlos Santos
