Very interesting.  About 22 years ago, I looked into using REL format for the 
CardZ180 host-side device drivers.  Ended up using a kludgy relocation bitmap 
scheme because I couldn't find out much of anything about REL.

I'm really surprised that none of the other 8-bit assemblers used relocatable 
object code.  Seems like OMF for the IIgs is where that came into play.
