I found that you can represent binary numbers in Mathematica with this:
binary = 2^^110110101010111010
And BaseForm[binary, 10] returns the number in decimal form
I'd like to know if is there some function to test if a given bit of the
binary number is on, and to do operations like "shifting" the binary number.
I looked at the help but can't find anything.
I use Mathematica 5.0 on Windows XP.

not yet been run. " -- From Silbershatz and Galvin, pp. 142-143.
