Hi. (again =)

Now I'm trying to store a 16bit number as two ASCII characters to my file.
So, I was wondering, if there's a fast way to separate a 16bit number to two
8bit numbers?

I know, that I can do this easily with inline asm (and I also can do it),
but is there a fast and short way to do this in C?


Thanks for any answers I get.
