Why not? 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.

not that i know anything from nothing regarding a PC
have you tried launching the win95 version from your dos? (ie start your pc,
then goto "start" "shutdown" "restart in dos")
may not work, but then again, if it does, the 50 mhz maybe good enough to
run it just nicely
again i sux at pc issues, but this maybe possible...seems i recall reading
it somewhere
at least my answer is trying to be helpful...hehehe
