The alternative is to use relocatable mode.  You really shouldn't be
teaching your students using absolute mode.  It promotes bad programming,
provides no means to allocate RAM, plus other drawbacks.  Set them up with a
template linker file and tell them to ignore the "linker magic" until
they're ready to understand it.  Make them learn right from the start that
variables are reserved with RES.  You can still start out with a single file
with one UDATA section and CODEs instead of ORGs, then get more fancy when
you teach them about the linker magic later.  In the mean time they are no
worse off than in absolute mode, but they won't be learning bad habits they
have to unlearn later.
