+><P
+>LWASM supports generating a proprietary object file format which is
+described in <A
+HREF="c558.html"
+>Chapter 5</A
+>. LWLINK is then used to link these
+object files into a final binary in any of LWLINK's supported binary
+formats.</P
+><P
+>Object files are very flexible in that they allow references that are not
+known at assembly time to be resolved at link time. However, because the
+addresses of such references are not known, there is no way for the assembler
+has to use sixteen bit addressing modes for these references. The linker
+will always use sixteen bits when resolving a reference which means any
+instruction that requires an eight bit operand cannot use external references.</P
+><P
+>Object files also support the concept of sections which are not valid
+for other output types. This allows related code from each object file
+linked to be collapsed together in the final binary.</P
