Command & Conquer is a rather old but excellent realtime strategy game by
Westwood.
Since then Westwood has released a sequel called Red Alert which is even
better than C&C.
They are now working on C&C 2.
Here are a few documents on file formats used by C&C. These files are meant for programmers that want to make their own editors and utilities.

formats used for the maps

This algorithm is used to compute the 32-bit ID numbers that are used
in MIX files instead of filenames.
The ID is computed from the filename, but it's impossible to work out the
filename from the ID. In Mix Manager I solved this problem by keeping a list
of all filenames that are used in C&C and then checking each one to see
whether it gives the ID I'm interested in.
Here's some source code that will compute the ID form the filename:
Pascal Source
C Source
I wish to thank Benny Den Trooster
for his help on working out the ID coding algorithm.
There were some links here in the past, but since most of those pages
have disappeared and the other have not been updated for a long time,
I decided to eliminate all links from this page. I really don't have time
to keep the links up to date.
You can use any good search engine to find Command & Conquer related pages
on the Internet.
