Could you be more specific about which version of the operating system you
are referring to.  I do not find this file in 4.2BSD or in SysV release 2
(for the 3b2, including the terminfo package).
Alternatively, if it is simple and not particulary secret, how about posting
it for those who don't have your particular collection of utilities.
