For example, if I write a simple program, and I name the file whatever.c, the compiler compiles it as a C program and the ASM that is generated is readable and (if I knew more about ASM) I would be able to tell what was going on. If I rename that same program's source file to whatever.cpp, the ASM is suddenly littered with a lot of @ signs and underscores and lots of other garbage. I don't see why it should be any different for renaming a file from .c to .cpp when the source code is exactly the same. Russell
