That's impossible without repeating values -- a ULong is 32-bits, while
a UShort is 16-bits.

Assuming you mean UChar (8-bit), then you code could look like
ULong x = value;
UChar a, b, c, d ;
MemMove ( &a, &x, 1 );
MemMove ( &b, (char *)&x + 1, 1 );
MemMove ( &c, (char *)&x + 2, 1 );
MemMove ( &d, (char *)&x + 3, 1 );
or a bit more clearly
a = x >> 24;
b = x >> 16;
c = x >> 8;
d = x;
since both types are unsigned, this should work fine.
