The subject already says it:

Why are the API functions CopyFileExA
and CopyFileExW missing from the windows unit?

Likely because they are newer API functions and just weren't added yet. It would be nice if you'd do a bug report preferably with links to the MSDN.

They're part of JEDI win base (jwawinbase.pas) though.

Indeed, the original windows unit was done before 2000 based on non-microsoft sources iirc(headers for gcc) that were even older.

If you find problems, please file a bug.
