assuming you have a UINT16 called fred you can simply do :
hibyte = fred >> 8;
as you will shift in zeros.
to be more carefull you could do:
hibyte = (fred >> 8) & 0xFF;
if you has a UInt16 call fred2 then you do this
hibyte = fred2 >> 24 or again to be carfull:
hibyte = (fred2 >> 24) & 0xFF.
above asumes hibyte is a UInt8.
The same applies for signed numbers.
