I can copy a file by reading it and writing a new file. This creates a
new date.

It would be much simpler if there were a procedure to copy a file,
preferably retaining the original date. Does it exist?

Have a look at the Win API SHFileOperation.

Kind regards

So stupid I could not find CopyFile. It even works without a header.

CopyFile() has a header file.  It is declared in winbase.h, which is one of
the core Win32 API header files that all Windows apps include.
