Hi Scott,

1. If you don't like that header just have it not included in the
binary ! The cc65 docs (does anybody look at them ?) describes how:

http://www.cc65.org/snapshot-doc/apple2enh-2.html

Sorry but what you describe seems to me like someone drilling a hole
into the gas tank of his car from below and complaining about the
hassle to use a car lift at the gas station instead of looking into
the manufacturers manual for the filler plug ;-)

2. If you're wondering why that header is there by default then you
might i.e. check out my postings in the recent thread 'Assemble
HelloWorld with Ca65' in comp.sys.apple2.programmer.

Best, Oliver
