I also forgot to mention, do you have the mission level structure for C&C so
u can play all the missions? On certain single player levels with multiple
arrows, there maybe a different mission for each arrow...I can email you the
list of all playable arrows so you can go back a pick the arrow you
missed...WOW, MORE C&C!!!!

I also have fun with another item i found years ago:

Tip of the Week - December 1, 1997

I need more money!

Well, you may be able to get it!
there are certain levels (listed below) where, when assets are sold for
dollars,
some of that money carries forward to the NEXT level:

GDI - Levels 2,7,8,9,10,
NOD - Levels 2,8,11,12

How:
Just before you finish the last of the enemy off,
1)keep your refineries busy, build lots of silos, and fill the up to the
brim
2)build and cancel one building over and over again until the silo's are
empty.
3)sell all your remaining buildings (you get 50 cents on the dollar
(don't start selling until the last building is built, also, be sure to have
the proper trooper(s) or vehicle(s) necessary to finish the game)

you can also sell vehicles by placing them on a repair bay
the yellow dollar sign will shrink to a green one
(the harvester will get money for the tiberium in its tank) you get 50 cents
on the dollar

you can also sell troops by placing them next to a sandbag
but this is allot of trouble for few dollars

try to get $40,000 in the silo's (and refineries)
the $40,000 may carry forward up to eighteen thousand dollars
(some times less)

Thanks to Olaf van der Spek for his improvements. This can be of great help.
and it is not a cheat, but a little know strategic tactic built into C&C..
