perhaps it was compiled with the location of the terminfo directory set
to a nonstandard location (or uses libraries that aren't compatible with
AIX's terminfo). There are a few possibilities. Running 'strings' on
the binary should show "terminfo" and/or "termcap". If it shows only
the former, it is compiled against curses or ncurses; setting TERMINFO
to something like /usr/lib/terminfo may fix it. If the latter ("termcap"),
it won't work with AIX's terminfo, but requires a termcap file.
