I noticed that there are a few tests for BitXor, but I also noticed that there is no implementation for BitXor when I build and run mathics on the command line.

My current work with mathics requires linear algebra over the field Z_2, i.e., bits :)  In that field, addition is XOR and multiplication is AND.

I can work around the lack of BitXor etc., no problem, and I continue to think mathics is great. But I must wonder whether I built it incorrectly or whether BitXor is not a part of the current releases.

I think that Bitwise operations are not implemented yet in Mathics. If you can handle it, it would be nice to have that implemented. BTW, I wonder what are you doing with that linear space: I am always interested in examples for my classes :)
