Just a minor note... :-)

The enhanced 16F1xxx also has a memory mapped W-reg (WREG).

So any "file" instruction now also works directly on W,
shift, roll, bit set/clear/test and so on.

And WREG is part of the 12 FSR block that is "unbanked".

The enhanced 16F1xxx does ot have MOVFF, though... :-)

But similar effect can be had using MOVIW, MOVWI. And these
instrucktions has optional pre/post inc/dec modifiers so
working with say a buffer-to-buffer copy is efficient.
