Terminfo wanted for vt100, ANSI-BBS, and/or Wyse 60

Since I've come here to spies (A Wicat Sys V.2.2 system) I've been having 
trouble with the available terminfo entries being incompatible with my terms.  
I didn't have this trouble on dasys1 (a BSD system) and I don't know 
why, but the 'w' command in vi doesn't move the cursor to the correct
position when using any of the available vt100 terminfo entries.  It generally
cuts the word in half and blanks out every character the cursor has moved
over.  '$' often does the same thing, stopping 2-10 spaces short of the end
of the line.

Also, I have a real problem with destructive backspaces, even though
my own terminal/terminal software is set for non-destructive backspaces.

I didn't have these problems on dasys1, so I'm guessing it's the fault of
the terminfo entries.

I'd appreciate greatly receiving working terminfo entries for vt100, vt100-w,
ANSI-BBS (PC terminal), wy60 and wy60w, that are compatible with the Wicat
and its Sys V.2.2.

Thanks!
