Michael,

I can't answer whether or not this the best way to go, but I can tell
you how to get the include file. First of all, gpasm can not legally
redistribute the microchip include files that come with mplab. However,
as a user you may download mplab and get the files yourself. If this is
too much of a pain in the ass, then you can download gpsim (the gnupic
simulator) and use the very similar include file "p16c84.inc".

If you use the microchip include files, then you'll have to be careful
with case sensitivity. There's the case sensitivity switch '-c' that
will make it work.
