Are you absolutely certain that they are putting your new menu into place?

Are you absolutely certain that they didn't corrupt the file somehow?  (For 
example, I have seen plenty of xfer files messed up when their ftp client's 
"auto mode" would use text instead of binary.)  If this were Unix, you could 
use the "sum" command, but for Windows, at least make sure the byte size 
hasn't changed.  (The *actual* size, from a command prompt's "dir" output, 
not Windows "show the size as 5K" file listing.)
