to which i reply:
you could stand on your head and whistle dixie...
let me get you started:
"away, away, away down south in dixie"

THERE ARE NO CHEATS IN C&C:

there are no cheats, you may get get flamed if you use that word.
alot of C&C'ers take a NOD view of people who use that word
they usually treat them like Kane treated Seth
quick shot to the head, or worse

never use the word cheat

there are no cheats in C&C
never were, never will be

the closest thing are "trainers"
they give you extra money, instant build
but they are add on programs outside of C&C

and they make a great game too easy

"if it wasn't hard, it wouldn't be fun" (me)

there are also "Easter Eggs"  Frodo156 shared with us:

"C&C funpark is not a cheat it is an "Easter Egg" put in by the people at
westwood.  For those of you unfimilliar with the term, an "Easter Egg" is
something put into a game by the programs, and is usually hidden, it can be
as pointless as a movie star cameo in the background or whole new levels like
"funpark" in the Covert Ops. So I will repeat funpark is NOT a cheat."

I can send you a text file created by ROGER WONG which contains data, tips
and suggested tactics, but no cheats! if you need specific help, email me any
time

the tips are built in items that are not in C&C's publication or read_me.txt
text files that come with the program

if you use the word cheat, you will be flamed
ever see what a flametank does to a group of 20 GDI soldiers?
or what an airstrike does to NODDIE troops?

The point i make is that there are no cheats "IN" the program of C&C.  none,
period. Take control of your destiny (Command ) and (&), overcomming all odds
using just your brains, whit, whatever, then winning a well deserved victory
(Conquer) as the outcome.

we play to the death, but we play fair
