Doesn't PIC 16 also have the DAW instruction and the DC bit?  I don't
remember since I've never used either.  Personally I think they are a waste
of silicon.  It's not worth burdening every chip with this stuff for the
very rare case when it comes in handy.  If you are doing BCD, it's hard to
argue you care about every last cycle of speed.
