redownloading df does not fix it

What happens if you edit the "df" file (in TextEdit, for example) and remove the & from the second to last line?

image of when i try to start df with the &: http://imgur.com/XawCQNa [^]
image of when i try to start df without the &: http://imgur.com/se7juxf [^]
by the way, i re-downloaded dwarf fortress again and this time the & was in line 16, since for some reason there where more lines, at least line 17 had something, which was "fi"
last time line 13 didn't have anything
