Do you really need 200!?

A little googling turned up 
http://www.cs.umd.edu/Outreach/hsContest97/questions/node3.html which 
might provide a solution. I don't know if it will work for you, since 
their code may only work if the answer has fewer than 100 digits. (I'm 
also not sure what language it's written in.) I think that 200! has 
close to 400 digits in the answer, if my back-of-the-envelope answer is 
correct.
