Only the LSB is the same. The sample I posted is a bit-counter, but
even/odd parity generator produces only a single bit. For example,
here's another slow way to do it:


      CLRW

LOOP:
      CLRC
      XORWF  X,W
      RRF    X,F
      MOVF   X,F
      SKPZ
       goto  LOOP

In this case, the bits are 'added together' with XORs.
