When I read numbers from a Table containing binary numbers in the format 0b, for example 0b1010, they always readout as zero. When using the format b'1010', they readout correctly. I am using version 0.98.06. Is there a newer version that corrects this?

I have just posted a new release candidate in the files tab of this site.
Please use this version, test. I do have a memory of looking at this issue. It was either resolved or we documented the use in the Help. Your testing will help me remember.

I, not we in this case, send all our code for evaluation and whitelisting by Avast ans Microsoft. The gs+tools passed code tests on 10/10/2020.
However, as all our exes are then added to all the virus checkers our code is should not cause an alert. But, I have no control over the sharing of the whitelists across-the-board of virus checkers. And, the last time a user updates the virus definitions - a virus definition of prior to 10/10/2020 may flag up the exes as a risk.
And, to further ensure exe integrity, I could add MD5 hashes for all exes, but, how would bother to check the hash values.
Win 10 with just defender, no other anti virus, always says unknown program ,then click options and says run anyway, which installs gcb.
Why does win10 defender not pass gcb installer? It's not a problem but you hear of code being hacked.

We can resolve the Win10 defender message. All donate to buy a certificate to sign the installer and the applications.
It cost £66 / year. And, that means each year. The certificate could be registered as the Great Cow Foundation and we would use to certify that the application (the installer etc) was from a validated source.
So, everyone donate and we can do it.

I understand Evan. Stupid that win 10 security updates are a pain but needed, then you
can install anything without defender checking it.
It all seems a daft situation. Other well known programs have the same problem with defender. Usually open source or free...like anti virus, audacity,cura...lots.
I read defender is quite good but does it scan an install .exe file when you select "download anyway"...as antivirus software does?
If 66 users donated £1 or 132 gave 50P. or 264 gave 25P.
If I right click gcb installer there is no scan file options...unless I have malwarebytes or other av.
no scan with defender.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I disabled my antivirus (McAfee), my malware protection (Malwarebytes), uninstalled and reinstalled the new release candidate and got the same error. When I load the same code into v0.98.06, it compiles and assembles fine.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Can I add that Evan told me to DELETE old gcb before installing new version.
Like delete gcb@syn folder.
I did and all ok BUT may have been a test/update version.
I usually just update gcb, not even uninstall older version.
If you go to sourceforge for gcb then don't click latest version
as it's not. Latest will be top of list...from what I figured..dunno.

@Jack. We should resolve as this is the version that is to be release.
I am assuming that you installed the installed to a new directory. Let us call it c:\gcb@synrc28, and, you installed everything, and, that you have not installed then copied bits of the install. With these
Check the GS+TOOLS directory. What are the exe in that folder?
Can you start a command prompt and run "G+Stool.exe" ? You need to be in the C:\GCB@SynRC28\G+Stools directory.
Ensure you do not have a copy of the IDE editor running. Locate syn.exe in your C:\GCB@SynRC28\SynWrite directory - execute syn,exe to start the IDE editor. What happens?

-Again disabled my antivirus and antimalware software
-reinstalled to c:\gcb@synrc28
-did not copy anything from or to the installation
-GS+TOOLS directory includes:
callchm.exe
g+stool.exe
gawk.exe
ide.exe
-In command prompt, navigated to the G+Stool directory,
then ran G+Stool.exe and got this ERROR
(came up in a window, I copied and pasted below)
E R R O R
G+Stool.exe ist part of the GCB[at]Syn-IDE for the Great Cow BASIC compiler.
It is useful only in conjunction with the SynWrite-Editor, which is the main part of the GCB[at]Syn-IDE.
For further information see 'readme.txt' in the GCB[at]Syn root folder!
OK
-Insured I did not have a copy of the IDE running, navigated to C:\GCB@synrc28\SynWrite directory,
executed syn.exe, the editor started normally.
-Curious, I closed the IDE, then ran the IDE that I had initially installed (V0.98.07) in the directory where all
my older IDEs had been installed and ran that again, but got the error I initially had posted about.
-The only difference in the 2 installs was WHERE I had placed them, but I decided to compare the 2 installs,
and found significant differences in what did and did not get installed! I have attached 3 screenshots
of comparison of:
1. The GCB@SYN directory of the 2 installs, highlighting differences in yellow
2. The G+Stools directory of the 2 installs, highlighting differences in yellow
3. The SynWrite directory, highlighting differences in yellow
-I did not compare all the directories of the 2 installs; hope this helps.

Are you saying the the "G+Stool.exe" is missing? I think so
So, reinstall. Run the install from the command line. Add /LOG to the command, (ensure IDE is not running). When, you get to the last install screen look in the "G+Stool.exe" folder. Is it there?
I think something is deleting it. My guess. You need to update the Microcsoft Defender Definitions or you need to look in the event logs to figure out what is deleting the file.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, Gstool.exe definitely missing from the install into the directory where I have always installed the IDE, but not missing from the install to the C directory. The difference is clearly shown in the G+Stools.jpg I posted. That image shows the 2 directories I installed to and the file differences, showing that G+stool.exe was not installed if the IDE was not installed to the root drive.

Please install from the command prompt using the additional /LOG parameter and the post the log here. I do not if the file was installed, or, some error happened but the log with reveal the pre-execution state ( IDE execution ) of the installation.

Check you virus checker. Installers here ok and with others.
You cannot copy an existing G+Stool.exe" from an old version. There is new stuff in the new exe.

The report from AVAST regarding RC28 files. No virus, trojans etc. The text file attached to the post also shows the MD5 hashes for all files.

This is odd. Works here with the download from Sourceforge.
Do as Stan. Delete the entire folder structure and reinstall.
where can I find V0.98.07 RC27, as would rather not delete my old installs.

I think something is deleting it. My guess. You need to update the Microcsoft Defender Definitions or you need to look in the event logs to figure out what is deleting the file.
and, after you installed with /LOG
look in your temp folder for some file called
Setup Log 2020-10-31 #001.txt, open that file in notepad, then search forg+stool.exeThis will show the file was or was not installed.
Yes, Gstool.exe definitely missing from the install into the directory where I have always installed the IDE, but not missing from the install to the C directory. The difference is clearly shown in the G+Stools.jpg I posted. That image shows the 2 directories I installed to and the file differences, showing that G+stool.exe was not installed if the IDE was not installed to the root drive.
Not disgreeing with you the state you end up in.
Please install from the command prompt using the additional /LOG parameter and the post the log here. I do not if the file was installed, or, some error happened but the log with reveal the pre-execution state ( IDE execution ) of the installation.
@Jack- Evan posted this in the forum https://sourceforge.net/projects/gcbasic/files/Release%20Candidates/
At the top left it says Download latest version.
No. Click Gcb_installer-v90.07 RC28 .exe
Rename your GCB-SYN folder or you lose pickit2+ and pickit3+ and any timer calculators.
now try install from the link
