I need to setup a virtual terminal to emulate sco-ansi (SCOANSI)

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I have an application that needs to run in a SCOANSI compatible terminal
  • I used to modify /etc/termcap to run SCOANSI in the past on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL)
  • Now on RHEL 6 there is no /etc/termcap file
  • When I run a script I receive:
'scoansi': unknown terminal type.
tput: unknown terminal "scoansi"

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
