Default mapping relay questions

Appreciate any info, the section of code I found that made me think this is below.
* This default code maps the joystick buttons to specific relay outputs.
* Relays 1 and 2 use limit switches to stop the movement in one direction.
* The & used below is the C symbol for AND

relay1_fwd = p1_sw_trig & rc_dig_in01; /* FWD only if switch1 is not closed. */
relay1_rev = p1_sw_top & rc_dig_in02; /* REV only if switch2 is not closed. */

relay1_fwd/rev refer to relay positions, not going forward or reverse on drive one. These relays in general control spikes which in turn usually control solenoids. This is so you can send the solenoid in both directions to send the piston both ways. I, myself, just deleted the code limiting relay inputs. Anyways, to get back on topic, this should not be limiting your joysticks and drives, or anything on victors. Could you post your code so someone could look over it?
