I liked the demo graphics (probably low-res) for the original command and
conquer, but there doesn't seem to be a way to set this video mode with the
retail game.  I've tried both 640x480 and 640x400 modes, but this isn't the
view you got in playing the demo...i.e. when 'everything was bigger'.  I
thought this might have had something to do with my video card, but then I
bought a new video card, and there was no difference in either mode.

I guess what I want to know is, is there a way to force the game to display
in less than 640x400 graphics mode, so that both your men and playing field
seem larger (like in the demo)?
