Pete,

I chickened out and used the Hewlett Packard HCTL2016 chip instead.

I was concerned that I might loose pulses if I had coded it. The
encoders in our system are sometimes upto 2500 pulses per rev running
at upto 3000 rpm. I also have to do some other things with the same
PIC so I didn't think the PIC would keep up.

There is info on the HP web site on the HCTL2016.
