CentOS 8

[Bill Randall]

Newer versions of filePro ( 5.0.15 and higher) shouldn't rely on 
libtermcap. filePro hasn't been
linked to use libtermcap for awhile now. It can still read and parse termcap
files, but it has its own built in parser.

If you are unsure if the version requires it or not. Any of the programs 
can be
checked using `ldd` and `readelf -d` to show the list of libraries that are
required to load the application.

ldd will show all of the libraries required when loading an application 
while
readelf will only show the direct dependencies.

Here is a listing of required libraries for the current Linux version of
filePro (6.0):

     libpthread.so
     librt.so
     libodbc.so
     libxml2.so
     libz.so
     libstdc++.so
     libm.so
     libgcc_s.so
     libc.so

filePro (5.8) also requires libfpodbc.so, which is packaged with the 
installer.

Going back through previous versions, starting with 5.0.15, libtermcap is no
longer required. Previous versions would have the compatibility issue.
