+# PATH_MAX limit.
+
+In case you rush into the problem, that you have more slides than
+PATH_MAX, which is more than four thousand slides, there is a solution
+with catpoint(1):
+
+1. Make a temporary file with the content of your presentation.
+2. Create some application to update the temporary file content.
+2. Either press reload or use SIGHUP to reload the file and slide.
+
+Using this solution you lose some commands in catpoint(1) but will be
+able to scale to infinity.
+
+Another solution would be to use some different kernel or userspace,
+allowing more arguments to a command.
+
+Have fun!
