[OT] Visual C++ question



I used Borland a while ago ('96) and all my C code got saved as *.cpp.

If there is a reason the complier needs to process using just the C subset of
C++, I think that's what Jerry wants to know.  Windows likes three character
suffixes and probably does not understand *.c
