And what timing, I just finished getting it working with assembly and compatible versions. Seems 5x slower rather than the dreaded 50, but that's from testing factorial up to 100 (200ms vs 1,200ms).
Doing a 10240bit int I ran though 1,000 factorials in 6 seconds (this includes printing the values out). I got to about 400 in 16 minutes using the generic code. So like the wideint implementation I saw a while ago, larger types aren't recommended, but the speed penalty you can live with to use cent/ucent.
Also got Cent working (mostly). In a few more days I should probably have this done. If there's somewhere else i should post my work regarding this or updates, do let me know.
