To which Scott replied:

This is correct, also beware of that there might be some quirks,
with data aligning depending on mplab version and used pic. I.e.
after one line like:

DB      0xAA,0xBB,0xFF.....

If the number of bytes are not even then mplab *might* add one
zero byte to 'pad' the data to be even, this i know for a fact on
some version of the mplab and using the 18xxx chips. Seems to=20
be related to the 16 bit word adressing mode.
