Comments:

• I thought incfsz doesn't affect the Z-flag?
  -but greaet algorithm!-+

•                       twofour1 w   c z
                        255      ?   1 ?
  movf    twofour1,w   ;255      255 1 0
  btfsc   STATUS,c     ;do not skip
   incfsz twofour1,w   ;0        255 1 1
    addwf prod1,f      ;skipped > prod1 no changed

• Oh, I see incfsz performs the carry with W and if W carrys again on the increment then W=0 and hence no change.
  
  Very clever!+
