The other solution is if you cannot teach the other system about
this "foo" terminal (due to, e.g., access rights), you can
save off a TERMCAP entry (obtainable via tset) into a file and
do
if [ $TERM = foo ]; then
. $HOME/.termcap.foo
fi
or something similar.
The proper methods for getting tset to produce a sourceable TERMCAP=
line for your shell is left as an exercise for the reader. :)

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology",
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
