Looking for Mittag-Leffler function [message #37991]

Hi everyone! I am trying to write a code which will generate the
Mittag-Leffler function,

E_alpha(x) = sum(k = 0 to infinity) (x^k)/gamma(alpha*k + 1).

There are more general cases, but in this particular application,
x is real, and alpha is between 0 and 1. Oh, and as a special case,
if alpha = 1, then this reduces to exp(x). My problem is that coding
it up as is works up to a point before reaching machine limits (x^k
for large x and large k, as well as large values of the gamma
function), but I need solutions for large x (x >= 20).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Mik Kiss
