I finally got ITS running on my simh plan9 port. I discovered that one
of the DDT command from ITS is snarf
:SNARF <job>
if the current job (say, FOO) has an inferior named <job>,
this command takes <job> away from FOO
and then does ":JOB <job> ". Thus, <job> becomes a direct
inferior of the DDT executing this command, instead of
an indirect inferior. FOO is not told that its
inferior is gone, but if it is a DDT it will recover
after an $J is done to it. This command is most useful
when done to a HACTRO that got detached because of a top-
level interrupt, but whose inferiors are valuable.
(The thing to do is "HACTRO$J :SNARF TECO ", etc.)
