I just checked my /usr/lib/terminfo/x directory:
-------8<-------
gordon at pinetree% cd /usr/lib/terminfo/x/
/usr/lib/terminfo/x
gordon at pinetree% ls -l
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           10 May 30  1995 xterm -> ../v/vs100
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         1348 Jun  9  1994 xterm-bold
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         1383 Jun  9  1994 xterm-ic
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            8 May 30  1995 xterm-vi -> xterm-ic
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           11 May 30  1995 xterms -> ../v/vs100s
gordon at pinetree%
