conio.c for OS X?

You may find some hack through google but there really is no such critter as conio.h is a dos thing only.

conio is NOT a dos thing only. Do a Google search for conio.h and/or conio.c and you'll find a lot on it (as I did). It's available on Linux, so you should be able to tweak it a bit ot get it to work in OSX.

I guess you did not look at your own google search here is the description of the "Linux Version".

Description: This is a mostly complete implementation of the conio.h for Linux - it was developed to make porting text based DOS applications to Linux easier. It implements all port I/O commands defined in Watcom's conio.h and almost all other I/O commands defined in Borland's conio.h (including: keyboard input, formatted screen output, colors, windows...) using the curses library. This release has some bug fixes and the possibilty to use curses functions mixed with conio functions.

A compatibility library on Linux does not make it any less a DOS thing. Also the links you mention above are for serial consoles that happen to be called conio.h and not actually answers to the the canonical "Where is conio.h?" question. Remember Google searches don't include semantic information just syntactic...

The good news is that if the Linux version is written using curses you may be able to port it with little effort.
