RE: Faster inverse gamma and factorial for the WP 34S
Inverse Gamma Accuracy Issue.
Bit: When I enter the following into wolfram alpha:
1.5=gamma(x) solve for x, I get an answer: 2.6627663453201472954412987

When I enter 1.5 and use the compiled inverse gamma function on the wp34sgui_Bit.exe eumulator, in double precision mode I get 2.705794548255370.

If I use the same compiled wp34s.dat image on the QT emulator, or the wp34sgui.exe (non _Bit) emulator, I get the same answer as wolfram alpha.
Also if I use the _Bit emulator in single precision mode I seem to get the same answer (less digits) as wolfram alpha.
Why is that?
