   I used to think the ability to generate code without a linker made   
   more sense than requiring a linker.  I've changed that philosophy   
   over time because I see advantage in the ability to separately code   
   and compile multiple parts to an application, and just re-compile   
   the changed bits, then link them together.   
      
   If fasm has the linker built-in that's nice.  But, I think that a   
   linker is part of the fundamental tool chain and is essential to   
   robust software development, both from the application's needs pov,   
   and from the developer's pov.
