I'm sure we have different systems, but on the 64-bit Windows machine I
have tried, neither the netlib sam nor the 9pm sam work. They crash
immediately on startup.

However, Steve Simon buried the lede in his reply:
https://bitbucket.org/knieriem/pf9/downloads has a working sam, acme,
plumber, etc in binary form. I just tested that sam and acme from there
both work on my fussy 64-bit Windows machine. And they're in color!
