%  Simplification for quotients containing factorials

%  Matthew Rebbeck ( while in placement at ZIB) - March 1994.

%  The new 'really' improved version! Simplifies plain factorials as
%  well as those raised to integer powers and 1/2.
%
%  Deals properly with the generalised factorial idea of simplifying
%  non integers, eg: (k+1/2)!/(k-1/2)! -> k+1/2.
