I'll take a crack at it but I won't use the switch.  The extra code penalty
without the ability to use a jump table on a PIC is much too high.  This is
not meant as a criticism as I realize you whipped this out on the fly.  The
cost of walking down to 'case sub10:' nine times in a switch statement is
expensive.  I am not sure that this is actually any faster (or smaller) than
the DAA method. And yes,  negative constants are usually better.

I'll post the result when I'm done and like your example I'll make it small
bite capable.  BTW,  to be fair you need to pack the result;   mine was.
8-).  Or else I need to unpack mine 8-(.

Cheers,
