 While the MS-DOS command

 {{{
 C:\tmp\b>copy c:\tmp\a\x
 }}}
 runs successfully, the Haskell equivalent

 {{{
 copyFile "c:\\tmp\\a\\x" ""
 }}}
 results in

 {{{
 copyFile.hs: .\.copyFile584.tmp: copyFile: does not exist (Het systeem kan
 het opgegeven pad niet vinden.)
 }}}
 The Dutch explanation says:
 "The system can not find the specified path"
 {{{
 copyFile "c:\\tmp\\a\\x" "."
 }}}
 results in

 {{{
 copyFile.hs: .\.copyFile3960.tmp: copyFile: permission denied (Toegang
 geweigerd.)
 }}}
 The Dutch explanation says:
 "Access denied"
