How to comment out blocks in c-style?

How to comment out blocks in c-style?

[Zhekka]

Hi all

I'm using C-c C-c to comment out a block of code. This creates nice C++
style comments, which is beautiful but not good for my ANSI C code. I
would like to assign this key-combination (C-c C-c) C-style comment
fashion. Is this possible?

If my english is bad, here's an illustration:

instead of:
// a = piece+of_code;
// which += was;
// badly(written);

would like to see:
/* a = piece+of_code;
 * which += was;
 * written * well();
 */


Thanks.

It should work correctly for C.  I suspect that emacs thinks you are 
editing C++ code.  What does your mode line say?  Is the file .c or .cpp?

The file is .c
Perhaps it's the .emacs file, but I don't know where to look..
