Not sure this is a good idea. Terminfo entries are compiled, and you're 
not guaranteed of object level compatibility. (It's not a C compiler, but 
the concept is the same.)

You'd be safer to find the "source" on a SCO system, or produce it with:
   infocmp scoansi > somefile

Then move 'somefile' to the new system, and run (as root):
   tic somefile
