	Sure you can.  SysVr2 comes with the tic (terminfo compiler) that
	allows you to replace any entry in the /usr/lib/terminfo/* that
	you want.  There are public domain termcap - to - terminfo
	converters (captoinfo) and terminfo de-compilers (untic).
	Release 3 comes with these standard, and also has a general
	purpose terminfo manipulator called infocmp.  Does de-compiles,
	compiles, comparisons, etc.  If you want to play with your
	own terminfo entry, you can set the TERMINFO environment
	variable to it's path, just like the TERMCAP variable back
	in ancient times..
