I don't know anything about cc65 but...

FishWings support for DOS 3.3 is READ ONLY.  When opening a DOS 3.3 DSK image
the "Import" menu item should be grayed and you should not be able to import
files.

In DOS 3.3 the first two bytes of a binary file is the start address.  00 08
would indicate that the file should be run at $800.  The next three bytes
indicate the file length.
DOS 3.3 does not load these bytes into memory.
