On SCO Unix 3.2 tset looks at the terminfo library, not /etc/termcap.  Make
sure that the terminfo library is compiled.  Look at the directory
/usr/lib/terminfo; there should be a file terminfo.src, and a bunch of
directories, each directory being a letter of the alphabet.  

To compile the library the command is: tic terminfo.src
