When I upgraded to 5.0A from 4.6C (Max 4004), I added all of the new Radius
dictionary entries to the SQL/Emerald database, but never modified the
text-based dictionary. I have had no problems running Radius .60 as a
service or from the command prompt.

If you go all the way to 5.0Ai8, make sure you add the two additional
dictionary entries for the slot and modem numbers that are now sent out in
the stop record. Also, you may want to add these two entries into the
Calls table (if you're using the Emerald db.)
