Greetings,

I would like to evaluate, with fixed precision error, a rational function of two large factorials: 
both numerator and denominator might be huge integers but the ratio is always some value in [0,1] .
 The idea is to do that using floating point arithmetic with a bounded error, as efficiently as possible. 

Most resources on the web point to the use of the natural logarithm of the Gamma function. 
However, I haven't been able to come across any software package out there that implements that.
Can anybody direct me to such an existing implementation? 

My excuses if the above question is unrelated with the subject of the current list, yet I could not think
of a more fitting web-community to forward this request.

thanks in advance,

Constantinos
