I'm not sure which you mean, but in Visual C++ you can do two things: 1.> use the '/Tc' option to specify C source file, regardless of extension. 2.> use the '/Za' option to specify ANSI C - sort of - there is no guarantee of ANSI C compatibility, it just claims that non-ANSI constructs are flagged as errors. I suspect it should work most of the time, though. It seems to me there was an 'ANSI_C' or 'STANDARD_C' compiler directive at one point, but I'm not positive of that. That may have been C++Builder, however. Grant M.
