ls --color works for me in W2K. Works in cmd.exe; works in bash command 
window; works in rxvt.

If it doesn't work for you, something is screwed-up in your installation. 
Update your installation of cygwin package and fileutils package or 
reinstall if you already have the current version. You can check which 
version of la you have by typing "ls --version". Mine responds "ls 
(fileutils) 4.1".

Maybe you're not using cygwin's ls. Type "which ls" in your command window. 
Should be "/usr/bin/ls".
