Is there a way to redirect terminfo requests to another location so that
personal terminfo stuff can be used? I am from the BSD world, and am quite
familiar with termcap, and I regularly use a personal termcap file on all of
the different systems that I work on by using a "setenv TERMCAP" (csh) command.
Is there an analogous method for redirecting terminfo requests?
Same way just use:
setenv TERMINFO /path (csh)
works on my csh on my SysV.2 box.

Try setting the environment variable TERMINFO. You will need to
export it as well. The TERMINFO variable should be set with the
directory which you wish to specify in place or /usr/lib/terminfo.
This means, that for a VT100 terminal, instead of looking in
/usr/lib/terminfo/v/vt100, the terminfo file should be found in
$TERMINFO/v/vt100. Notice that you must create the "v" directory
under your ${TERMINFO} directory, and place the terminfo file in it.
