Stdio.h on VC++6.0

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{   

        printf("HelloWorld\n");

        return 0;
}

It appeared a series of errors when I clicked build button. But there is not any problem when i substituted "stdlib.h" for "stdio.h".

You are attempting to compile C code with a C++ compiler.

One way round this with Visual Studio 6.0 is to rename the source file to take a .c, rather than a .cpp extension. That puts the compiler into a sort of "C" mode.
