It's badly coded (sorry :-).  The second argument ("FileB") is taken as a
Constant.  And because the File-adress (_not_ contents !) is not within the
range 0 thru 7 it display's the warning about the "less significant bits"
..

Convert the contents of FileB to a Bit-mask, than AND them with the
contents of FileA ...
