A problem: Given / and U/, derive a forth version of D/.

My implementation of Forth has single precision division ("/") and unsigned
single precision division ("U/"), but no double precision division ("D/").
I would like to implement it in Forth, as opposed to messing w/ assembly 
language, but I cannot see how to do it.  Can you?
