Hexadecimal object file format is a way of representing an absolute binary object file in ASCII. Because
the file is in ASCII instead of binary, it is possible to store the file is non-binary medium such as
paper-tape, punch cards, etc.; and the file can also be displayed on CRT terminals, line printers, etc.. The
8-bit hexadecimal object file format allows for the placement of code and data within the 16-bit linear
address space of the Intel 8-bit processors. The 16-bit hexadecimal format allows for the 20-bit
segmented address space of the Intel 16-bit processors. And the 32-bit format allows for the 32-bit linear
address space of the Intel 32-bit processors.
