Yes, that's right. The intent is to mirror the most common convention for file copies on each platform. On Unix, `cp` sets the copied file's timestamp to the current time. On Windows, `copy` gives the copy the original file's timestamp. (These conventions are also reflected by the system APIs that racket uses.)

Is the above line meant to imply that a unix/linux version of Racket will NOT preserve file attributes using copy-file? I don't know the answer to your question re: Racket's copy-file, but I would point out that in the OS the create, modify, and access times for files all are maintained separately. A program (with sufficient rights) can change them independently. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
