It will not depend on any stupid compatibility DLLs.

You can also use the DOS xcopy /k to copy attributes.  However, Per is
right, and if you use Mingw and/or Msys then you can use cp via DOS.  Read
the help on xcopy as there are quite a few options.

Some - non-complete - notes about copy:

copy will preserve date/time of last write.
copy will modify date/time of last access
copy will modify date/time of file creation
copy will append archive flag
copy will remove read-only flag
copy will not even find system file
copy will not even find hidden file

In short - copy is inferior to cp.

Simple solution: Download a win32-compatible port of the cp command.
