That's not correct. The only functions from conio, which are used by my
port of TV are the functions for setting the videomode. All other things
for showing the output on the screen are made by direct writing to the
video memory.

But the screen output is only one of the problem when porting TV to
other
OS's. I think much more complicated will be porting the event mechanism,
because currently it very very DJGPP or MS-DOS specific.
