Using non-ARC code from an ARC project

How to disable ARC for a single file in a project?

I want to use some code (a folder full of files, basically), but it is written before ARC.

I want to use this from a project written in ARC, so I can't just drop the code into my project (I think).

I am wondering if there is a way to solve this by creating a framework or a static library from files other than ARC that I can reference in my ARC project.

Could this work? Any ideas on a better route?
