Is it possible to use the VStudio C++ compiler for C? I am doing some C
programming and wonder if there is a way for me to use the compiler in
VStudio to compile my C code, preferably from the command line?

Of course you can,just choose the console application at the beginning,
or just open a *.c file with VS IDE, then compile it.

Use the C++ project type and choose an empty project. Then do "Add
existing item..." for that project to add your .c and .h files.

I'm doing this right now with FractInt and it works great. You may
get a lot of warnings about insecure C string functions. You can turn
those off with a #pragma.
