     The source to the req.library glue code should be included in the
distribution package.  So, you should be able to reassemble for Aztec 5.0.  If
not, it is certainly far easier to roll your own glue code than to write a
whole new file requester.  Here is a bit of glue code for the file requester
and purge files functions (note - these glue code fragments trash A6.  Aztec
3.6 allowed this, but I don't know about Lattice or Aztec 5.0).

_FileRequest
      MOVE.L  4(SP),A0
      MOVE.L  _ReqBase,A6
      JSR     _LVOFileRequest(A6)
      RTS

_PurgeFiles
      MOVE.L  4(SP),A0
      MOVE.L  _ReqBase,A6
      JSR     _LVOFileRequest(A6)
      RTS

     I hope this helps.  If you need any more help, e-mail me.
