- With BANKSEL you do not need to care which bank the file is in
- Your code will be more portable - on a different PIC the file might be
located on another bank + on many PICs there are more than 2 banks so RP0
and RP1 need to be maintained instead of only RP0 + on 18F and enhanced 16F
there is no RPx but MOVLB instructuin - all of these situations handled by
BANKSEL automatically
- You may be able to save 1 instruction on each banking using the BCF/BSF
STATUS,RPx on PICs with more than 2 banks but then it reduces the
maintainability of your source code
