Not as far as I know. Many of them are replicable on the Amiga
through escape codes.

I don't know of one for kbhit. getch and its ilk are replicable
through #defines to standard ansi/amiga functions (I think - I can't
actually remember what getch does ;)
All the information you need for console layout should be on Aminet
and most of it might be in
http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/~aminet/dirs/aminet/docs/misc/CntrlCodes.txt
for clearing the console window try echoing this *"*E[0;0H*E[J"
(*E is escape :)
- it won't reset any console scroll bars that you might have added though
and if you move the scroll bar then you'll completely destroy the effects
you've created with gotoxy and clear :(
I have an include file for replacing conio.h. I can't send it to you at
the moment because my Amiga will be broken for the next few weeks. Sorry!
Good luck!
