Hi Josh The short answer is you need more memory and a faster computer. Check there are no system limits on memory usage (do an "unlimit" or some such). EMBOSS has no arbitrary memory limits, it is just that einverted uses full dynamic programming which is necessarily very memory and CPU intensive, especially for larger sequences.
You could try running palindrome which does a similar thing and is is faster and less memory intensive.
