89 known at assembly time to be resolved at link time. However, because the

90 addresses of such references are not known, there is no way for the assembler
|

91 has to use sixteen bit addressing modes for these references. The linker

92 will always use sixteen bits when resolving a reference which means any

93 instruction that requires an eight bit operand cannot use external references.</P
