Killing processes

When I need to kill off a rogue process at the moment I need to
use ps, and from that figure out what is the pid of the rogue.
This is especially difficult when the program concerned is forking
children like mad. I remember using a program called "zap" on
v7 that would allow me to "zap" processes belonging to a certain
user, or associated with a particular terminal. Is there anything
like "zap" (or better than it) around for BSD 4.[23] ?
