I was trying to use std.file.copy, and I kept getting a 
FileException because it couldn't find the file, even though I 
triple checked the name and that it existed in Explorer. So I did 
a little test to illustrate my point, and this is what happened:

foreach (de; dirEntries("C:\\Windows\\System32", "msvcrt*", 
SpanMode.shallow))
	writeln(de);
stdout.flush();
system("dir C:\\Windows\\System32 | find \"msvcrt\"");

produced

C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt.dll
C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt20.dll
C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt40.dll
16/12/2011  05:52 PM           690,688 msvcrt.dll
14/07/2009  11:15 AM           253,952 msvcrt20.dll
14/07/2009  11:07 AM            60,928 msvcrt40.dll

whereas running this in cmd:

dir C:\Windows\System32 | find "msvcrt"

produced

16/12/2011  06:46 PM           634,880 msvcrt.dll
16/12/2011  06:46 PM           634,880 msvcrt21.dll

msvcrt21.dll I created by copying msvcrt.dll. I also can't find 
msvcrt20/40.dll inside Explorer. Is there any reason why these 
don't show the same results?

Thanks,
Josh
