It takes a lot more steps, you can rotate a 1 bit mask (0x01) x times to get
it into place, AND it with reg and then check the zero flag-  I'm not going
to write up some code on the fly here- I've been doing soo much AVR
programming, I'm afraid I'll mix the opcodes!

  Hello all,

  Is there a way to make the bit position in a bit oriented command
variable?

e.g. (I know this doesn't work, but...)
...
loop    ...
        ...
        incf    x
        btfss   reg, x
        ...
        ...
        goto    loop
...

  Or something that has a similar effect?  I also tried using INDF, but
apparently that doesn't work...

Thanks,
Jerry
