Ye gads. I think we (CP/M and MS-DOS users) should send copies of the
DEBUG / SID / Z8E / DDT / ZDT / ZSID manuals at the rate to 5 a day (each)
to the writers of adb, in the forlorn hope that they will learn how to write
a useful debug tool. That it takes so much work to do the equivalent of:

t9

is beyond my belief. Yes, adb may be able to do anything, BUT IF IT CAN'T DO
IT EASILY IT'S USELESS.
