Your program runs (correctly??) without a GPF when compiled with VC++.
The program compiled with Builder C++ creates a GPF...

void get_tokens (char *line_ptr, char *label_ptr, 
    char *oper_ptr, char *opnd_ptr, int *opi_ptr, int *len_ptr) {	

/* You had...
  char temp[4];
*/

/* Consider... */
  char temp[5];

...
}


No GPF with either VC++ or Builder C++.

HTH
