For Windows I'd look at...
  http://users.ncrvnet.nl/gmvdijk/packages.html#CONSOLE

For DOS (and GNAT) you'll in dos_paqs.zip, URL below,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--  File:            pctextsc.ads
--  Description:     Simple Text Screen unit for PC  (GNAT/DOS Ada compiler)
--                   Intended compatibility with Turbo Pascal CRT unit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

package PC_TextScreen is

  screen_base_x: integer:= 1;
  screen_base_y: integer:= 1;

  procedure TextMode(mode:integer);
  procedure GotoXY(x,y:integer);
  procedure PutXY(x,y:integer; s:string);
  function WhereX return integer;
  function WhereY return integer;
  procedure ClrScr;

end PC_TextScreen;
You can extend it as you like...
