Perhaps the same name as the disk file with a . (dot) in front for the header words. Ala Mac resource forks or NTFS alternate data streams. Since Unix has no structure to its files, so you have to use the file system hierarchy to represent that. I dislike hidden files in general, but I doubt much in SIMH would suffer if the .header file were to get left behind. It seems pretty ephemeral, except perhaps during a sequence of diagnostics.
