[omniORB] echo example compile problems under VC++ 6.0

[William H Jones]

Richard, et al;

  At last!  Something I think I've seen before.

  In my bitter experience, Visual Workbench keys on the file extensions
and applys a straight C compiler to the *.c file type.  Changing the
file type to *.cpp should cause it to treat the source as C++.

  I did not investigate to see whether or not you could force Workbench
to apply a C++ compiler to *.c files.  Probably there is a way, but in
the situation I was working, it seemed better to go with MicroSoft's
ordained flow.

At least, I think that's your problem....  Maybe it's something entirely
different.

Bill
