I went out and bought a second copy when C&C95 came out. There is a way to enable the Dos mode in C&C95. It's been a long time since I did it, basically you should copy all the files from directory "Setup" in Covert Ops cd to HD. Then you need to copy all the smaller *.mix files you find (perhaps also some on the C&C95 disc). After that you need to get the setup.exe file from C&C demo, copy, and run it. Now everything should work fine. -- The Ambiguous Antti an...@adjective-army.com UIN: 46168834
