in regard to the problem with inline assembly in labels in conjunction with
Borland....

... Personally I use Borland C++ v 2.0 and I have notice a few things
ONE. You are better off typing:
      asm COMMAND
      asm COMMAND
LABEL:
      asm COMMAND

then typing:
      asm {
           COMMANDS
          }
LABEL:
      asm {
           COMMANDS
          }


TWO. You will notice I just showed you how to use labels with inline assembly ;-)
  have fun. 

(The reason I mention one is better is that although both forms should be equivalent
 I have noticed that the first form will allways compile without generating nonsensical
 errors........)

In any case I would personally compile things from the command line and forget about
inline assembler.. great in theory, but I have found it to be problematic in some cases
