Can masm32 produce raw code? (without all the "junk" that goes in the .obj files)
The thing you get with nasm when using "nasm whatever.asm"
I'm sure it can but I'm wondering how it's done.
Use a linker that generates a HEX or BIN file. Or use a COFF/OMF to BIN tool.

Any specific suggestions?
Did some searching but couldn't find anything. Exe2bin doesn't work and neither a few other apps I tried. If you know of such an application a link would be appreciated.
may be you mean this?

DEL noname.obj
pause
That's what I need. Thanks.

Did you read ever the MS COFF and \ or OMF object file format specification before naming the content of .obj files as "junk" ?
I only needed the generated opcodes, nothing else. Therefore I reserve my right to call everything else "junk" lol
I know that "the named contents of .obj files" aren't junk and have their specific use but in this case they are.
On the other hand this wasn't supposed to be an argument. I got an answer to my question and I thank you guys for that.

So, you didn't have to mention about object files...
True. But object files were the closest thing to "raw binary code" I had at the time of posting. So it felt natural to mention that.
No hurt feelings?
Yes, but "junk" is a bit strong word here.
