These are actually synonyms for other instructions. For example, SKPNC is really "BTFSC STATUS,C".

U gurus seem to have some instructions to use that isnt in the instruction set like "skpnc" and "skpc", "skpcnc". I have seen them in examples and they compile so guess they are ok... weird. I have the PIC 16F87x pdf datasheet. Instruction set in page 138. What does they mean, and are there more of 'em ? -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
