All DJGPP programs run in protected mode through DPMI.

ls

If you want to use bash, you should also download and install GNU
Fileutils and Textutils (fil*b.zip and txt*b.zip).  They contain
binaries that implement most of the "Unix commands" you're used to.

Only if you say
bash-2.04$ command.com /c dir

Is there a way to get ls to default to --color=auto ?
