I have written some FASM code and now want to link it to an .obj file in order to create an executable. I put the FORMAT COFF directive at top of my code, but it can't use the directive import, I checked later in the documentation and saw that indeed the format coff directive does not support import. In such case, how can I call the WinAPI functions from a coff file?
Also, is there a way to make the resource from FASM in COFF, or should I use another language to make a .res file?

if you are using some external LIBs with imports, you can declare the functions that you're using with "extrn" directive, and then link output against import libraries.
