6.2.6. `..start': Defining the Program Entry Point
--------------------------------------------------

   `OMF' linkers require exactly one of the object files being linked to
define the program entry point, where execution will begin when the
program is run. If the object file that defines the entry point is
assembled using NASM, you specify the entry point by declaring the
special symbol `..start' at the point where you wish execution to begin.
