Hi, Felix
I'm using "4.7.0" from

I did not notice it because my code worked on Ubuntu!
I added #:binary to my code. but "file-copy" still does not work correctly.
#;5> (file-copy "firefox.png" "Copy of Fx.png")
6162
#;6> (file-size "Copy of Fx.png")
6190
#;5> (file-copy "firefox.png" "Copy of Fx.png" #:binary)
6162
In "file-copy" definition at files.scm, #:binary is not used.

regular-file? always return #f.
#;10> (regular-file? "Copy of Fx.png")
#f

make-pathname uses '/' instead of '\'
#;9> (make-pathname "C:\\foo\\bar" "testtest")
"C:\\foo\\bar/testtest"

By the way, I am using your egg 'qt-light'. It was nice but not enough,
so I added some features.
I attach the files.

Thanks,
