That's correct.  It's called reqlib2_5.lzh.  I uploaded it there as
soon as it was approved here by Colin Fox.

You'll notice that there are no changes to the code (from 2.1)
(that I can recall)...mostly a flurry
of little changes to the programmer's interface to req.library
(renaming structures, procedures, etc).

Note: 2.5 is the latest, official version...and typing "version
req.library" should indicate as such.
