Thank you! But the test has finally been done since I reinstalled plan9
but, this time, the 9front version---and it went quite well and my
system finally works!

If you're curious:

Installing kerTeX (with the get_mk_install.rc) and installing the m3D
package (cmd: ape/sh m3D@mp.sh install) and then generating the samples
by following the instructions published at the end of the installation,
you can then see the result by:

kertex/dvips showcase.dvi >showcase.ps
page -w showcase.ps

Thank you for the proposal!
