I'm migrating an assembly language project from NASM to MASM
(yes I know they say assembly is dead but I have good reasons).

I managed to convert the files to MASM syntax and assemble
most of them. However, when the assembly fails because of
trouble in the include files (*.inc), VS tries to parse them as
XML and spews a shower of error messages when this fails.

I'm not too familiar with VS - how do I tell VS that the .inc
files should be treated as plain text and not XML?

I tried to use *.ina instead of *.inc but the problem prevails.

I'm using VS2005 beta 2. (Yes, I really need to combine
assembly language with the .NET2 framework - and no,
it's not for reverse engineering.)
