Still no: xterm-color and xterm-256color would be defined in ncurses,
which means he would have putty. (As noted, there's no clue regarding
the platform other than "Unix/Linux" - unless you examine the profile
in google, and see that none of the postings apply to Solaris - all are
Linux or C).
So assuming he's got a regular terminfo database (not one of the
lobotomized ones), he's got putty.
