What were you trying to do?
Use screen in the gnu locker.

What's wrong:
On Solaris, there is no screen terminfo, so screen works
non-optimally, because it defaults back to vt100.  For example, color
does not work.  Using other TERMs, such as xtermc, displays color, but
messes other things up.

What should have happened:
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/s/screen* should be present.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Copying over /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen* from a Linux machine to
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/s fixes the problem.
