right, i got it!
subroutine gets two digits of the num in the W register, and places them in
UNITS and TENS.
the whole point of this is for my clock project, which i have decided to use
7 seg displays.

btw, has anyone got any info on using the dallas ds1302 chip with the serial
port of the pic16f876, would it be better to bit-bang it?

TENS equ 0x0C
UNITS equ 0xD
COUNT equ 0xE
NUM equ 0x10
