[Dev-C++] .NET

[John P. <jpa...@ya...>]

Would anyone know where I can get a clone of .NET for free. I heard that
Envelop was an exact clone. I don't want to spend the money if I am not
going to like it. Would I also be able to use it on my current OS (Win 98)
or do I have to upgrade my OS also to 2000. If I use it on 98 will I be able
to make applications for 2000?
