It is obligatory if you want to be able to start the resulting binary 
with ``run``.  But even with one file projects you often end 
up "linking" it with some music, graphics, or charsets and compress the 
executable.  And in that scenario the compression programs usually ask 
for the address to start the program and spit out a compressed binary 
with a BASIC line to start the decompression.
