adding a C file to a CPP proj

[ABean]

I added a C file to a CPP proj and got an error complaing about the precompiled header thing. MSDN says I should create a subproject and stick the file in that. However, I would rather not create a new sub project for a number of reasons. As a solution, I found that I could rename the .c to .cpp and get it to compile file. Everything works but I'm wondering if there is a ticking time bomb just waiting to happen after this program goes into production. Thanks, Al

change the compile setting for the C file to not use precompile headers.

Is it possible to do that for a single file in VC7? MSDN seems to indicate that the only way to do this would be to stick it in its own sub-project. In any case I would rather not change ANY environment settings because this is for inclusion into an open source project that can be compiled on many platforms/compilers. Renaming it to CPP seems to be the easy way out. It’s just a collection of functions so I really can’t see how it would hurt. But thought it would be good to check with you guys first.
