[R] large factorials

I am working on a project that requires me to do very large factorial
evaluations.  On R the built in factorial function and the one I created
both are not able to do factorials over 170.  The first gives an error and
mine return Inf.  

Is there a way to have R do these larger calculations (the calculator in
accessories can do 10000 factorial and Maple can do even larger)
