    The metacommand is: '$LINESIZE:255
    The number after the colon must be literal, no variables allowed.
    Minimum line length is 40.  Maximum is 255.

    The '$OCODE (Object Code) metacommand allows you to turn the
    assembly language source listing on or off using the + or -
    argument.  Normally, you must use the /a switch to tell BC to
    include the assembly language code in the list file.  You can
    optionally begin listing anywhere in the program with '$OCODE+
    and turn it off again using '$OCODE-.  This gives you a lot
    more flexibility.

    Hope this helps.
