Trying my hands out in the world of assembly and will like to ask some few questions about FASM before I waste my time and sanity in learning it.

1. I read that FASM can output COFF .obj file. Can this .obj file be linked together with other .obj files generated from other programs like GoRC (Resource Compiler).

2. How can executable generated with FASM be made UAC aware (like making them run with admin privilege) in Windows

3. Where can I find a Step by Step tutorial of asm in FASM

I have searched this board severally but can't find the answers to my questions.

Don't you think that you should be asking your questions someplace where there are people that have some knowledge about the product you are asking about?

Personally, I have never even heard of FASM - I don't even know what processor it targets!
I can find out with Google, but ... that's irrelevant, because it's indicative of the problem: this isn't a FASM support site, and it's very unlikely that many people here will have any idea about it, much less how to use it.

So why select it? Why not learn to write assembler in some more popular environment? For example, you can use Visual Studio: Setup an Assembly Project on Visual Studio 2019 – Programming Haven[^], or MASM/TASM - Visual Studio Marketplace[^] but I'm pretty sure Google can find you other ways.

But why write modern Assembly code for Windows? To be honest, that is just making your life a whole load more awkward that it could be - and don;t get me wrong, I've written a lot of assembly code over the years, I like it - but I wouldn't write a windows app in it any more as it means doing far, far too much reinventing of the wheel!
