On Unix platforms, the file name extension can easily be changed using the "changext" shell script which is located in the config directory of the DCMTK source distribution. A call to "config/changext C cc" will rename all ".cc" files within the DCMTK tree to ".C" and will also update makefiles, dependency files etc. For Win32 users, we provide a source code distribution in which extensions have been changed to ".cxx" for convenience.
Alternatively, the ".cc" extension can be added to Visual C++'s settings in the system registry under the following position (note that for other versions of Visual C++ than 6.0, the registry position might be different). Append ";*.cc" to the value for the Input_Spec key, which defaults to "*.c;*.cpp;*.cxx". Thanks to Norbert Lindlbauer <norbert.lindlbauer at web dot de> for this useful hint.
