   I started using my C compiler today (Manx Aztec V3.6a), and I'm really

Poor guy...  you'll surely be baffled by Amiga Exec I/O...

   Also, here's some source I tried today. What I'm trying to do is
   simply copy one file to another. When I compile it, I get error 125
   which means "too many subscripts or indirection on integer". It occurs
   wherever I mention argv[x].

   #include <stdio.h>
   main(argc, argv)
   {
   [...]

This error has nothing to do with the I/O; you never declared what the
parameters rto main were, so the compiler assumed integer for both.
argc is an integer, but argv is a char **.  You need to add a line
after main(argc,argv) but BEFORE the "{" which reads "char **argv;" or
"char *argv[];" (take your pick; they mean the same.) and you *should*
add right before it "int argc;" but you don't need to, since the
compiler will assume it.

It thought argv was an integer, and argv[x] was the indirection on
integer causing the error.
