your welcome.  i found in Wikipedia, :

"Red Alert 2 is a popular game for modding. Hidden within the ra2.mix 
(ra2.mix\local.mix\rule*.ini) is a configuration file called rules.ini. This 
file can be extracted using a tool called the XCC mixer and edited after 
extraction. The rules.ini is constructed in such a way that it is very easy 
to modify; no programming skills are required. There are tags which refer to 
the strength of a unit, such as its hit points, which can be modified with 
the program."

i beleive the XCC mixer can be used for C&C original.
here is the 'readme" from the version i have:
"This is the MIX manager for C&C: Tiberian Sun. It also works for C&C: 
Tiberium Dawn and C&C: Red Alert and all expansion packs. It let's you view 
the contents of all MIX files and let's you extract any file you want.
An installation is not required. However, this program places some keys in 
the registry.

If you've got a question about this program, please visit the XCC Home Page 
and post a message in the forum.
If you've encountered a bug or would like to give your opinion about this 
program, feel free to e-mail me.

many thanks for Olaf for his support of C&C over the years.  the XCC home 
page seems to be down. but the program is still available:

version 1.43 is available at:

http://xhp.xwis.net/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?show_news

many thanks to the XWIS community for it's continued support of C&C



hope that helps

I just tried it, and it didn't work for me.  Thanks for trying to help.  
I have the original 1995 version of C&C.  Not the Gold.

Thank You.

WOW. that is an oldie but goodie.
sorry it didnt work.

you could post the question at the forum at:

http://www.cncworld.org/

it is reasonably active

or you could goto http://xwis.net/ and ask there. Olaf may still be around, 
and he would know as he created the file i mentioned before.

i also found an editor at the below. it indicated "This DOS based program 
lets you edit everything in C&C, including the building and vehicle 
settings."

by the way. if u have Tiberian Sun, you can get a mod that changes 
everything to Tiberian Dawn. Return of The Dawn is a wonderful mod.  lets me 
play TD in skirmish mode. wow, more C&C!

Okay  I downloaded that, and it didn't work.  The screen went blank for a 
few seconds, but the desktop came back on.

Thanks for trying.

I might post something in the forums that you mentioned.
