  I was being rather subtle there.  :)

  Where a GOTO is used, some PICs may require PCLATH to be set first.
Point is, I can't recall to which, if any, chips this applies and
that's why I was being tongue-in-cheek about it.

Nevertheless, if you plan performing a GOTO to a FAR location as a
consequence of a conditional skip, but have to reverse the sense of the
skip and it isn't available, you need a "counter-skip" to follow.  You
can't use a GOTO for this, because if PCLATH is pre-set for the other
GOTO, your local skip will jump FAR instead.
