There is. I've got a copy in /usr/local from ages ago, but I don't think I
have any source anywhere.

From the header file:

/***************************************************************************/
/** File: conio.h     Date: 03/09/1997       Version: 1.02                **/

/** Please also read the copyright notices for ncurses before using this !**/
/***************************************************************************/   

Not sure if that's any help. I don't thing I have the README file anywhere
either. There doesn't seem to be a .deb, either.

Cheers,
