[GAP Forum] large finite fields

[Joachim Schittenhelm]

Hi Members,

I am quite new to GAP and have to work with GaloisFields with a
large number of elements. Unfortunately the field is limited to
approximately 65k elements (~2^16).
By searching i discovered a 12 year old article that states the same
problem. Is this somehow solved in any extra package, or is it still
unpossible to use/create greater fields?

Regards
