The only difference is that one is VGA and the other is SVGA.  The SVGA one
is obviously prettier, at a higher resolution, and the Windows 95 version.
The VGA one, for DOS, is just fine, and is A LOT more stabler than the one
for Windows 95.  You can only buy one kind of Red Alert, and it includes
both the Windows 95 and DOS versions in the installation.  Don't worry,
installing both versions doesn't chew your hard drive's memory away, the
only difference in size is a couple of hundred kilobytes for the
application, since they both use the same data files.  Let me warn you
though, the Windows 95 version is very unstable (on my computer at least),
and it crashes a lot for me.  If the Windows 95 version crashes a lot, use
the DOS version.  I found that the Windows 95 version only crashes me when I
use certain apps, which I have written down.  An example of one of those
apps would be mIRC, a big no-no for me, hehe.

Good luck my friend.
