I looked into this a little bit.  Prerequisites seem to include
installing the Graphics Programming Utilities Package (part of the
Software Development Set).  This includes the ETI libraries and header
files.  To compile a program that uses ETI, you need to include
#include <panel.h>
in your program then compile with
cc -lpanel -lcurses
and that should compile your program (page 10-70 of the Programmer's
Guide Volume II that comes with SDS).

I'll email you a copy of the color terminfo that comes with System V
Rel. 3.2, that should allow you to use color on your console.  

Hope this is what you were looking for.
