Many thanks guys,

A few months ago I asked on the CodeGuru forum (which is how I found out 
about Visual Studio and Clang!!)

But no-one seems to know if VS+Clang can be used together to produce 
Linux apps.  I'm pretty sure VS can produce .NET apps for both Windows 
and Linux - but I'm guessing not regular C++ apps.

Anyway... regarding Paul and Aaron - are they members of this mailing 
list by any chance?  If not - where could I find Discord? I've just 
tried a few Google searches for Clang and Discord but they all come up 
as Error 404  :-(

Thanks again - John
