Does anyone know if there is an "official" terminfo file for syncterm?

Most (if not all) systems don't have one by default, which causes 
programs to fail when executing them using SyncTERM. I've solved this in 
the past by copying another terminfo file and naming it syncterm. Today, 
I tried using what I thought was the "official" terminfo file for the 
project, but it seems to be slightly off, as when I run programs in 
SyncTERM, some of the rows and things are slightly broken (though it 
mostly works).

cd /tmp
wget https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/termcap 
-O /tmp/syncterm_terminfo
sed -i 's/ansi-bbs/syncterm/' /tmp/syncterm_terminfo
tic -s syncterm_terminfo

Is there a better terminfo file to use that will make SyncTERM work 
properly?

Thanks!
