conio isn't available on Unix, pdcurses is.

> BTW, who's the PD who wrote the original PDCurses?

Like all ported packages, the file name is just the package name.
"pdcurses" is "public domain curses".  The rule about author's
initials is primarily for packages written by the author, not ports of
existing well-known packages.
