;* DivLong - Divides an unsigned long integer by an unsigned short integer.
;* The procedure does not check for overflow or divide-by-zero.
;*
;* Shows:   Instruction -  div
;*
;* Params:  long1 - First integer (dividend)
;*          short2 - Second integer (divisor)
;*          remn - Pointer to remainder
;*
;* Return:  Quotient as short integer
