Wha does the 'file' command say (cygwin should have one). If it is a 
SPARC binary, you're POL. If it is an x86 binary, you could install 
vmware on your w2k PC, and install Solaris inside vmware. Or install 
bochs on w2k and solaris on bochs.

Since cygwin does not appear in that solution, this branch of this 
thread is now off-topic.
