Before `show'ing a string in PostScript you must have a font set. Your
program worked in NeWS because NeWS does a `setfont' when it starts up
(so it can print the opening banner).
So, just add, say :
	/Times-Roman findfont 10 scalefont setfont
at the begining of your program (anywhere before the first `show') and
it should print out.

P.S. It will fit on the paper better if you do :
	90 rotate
	0 -500 translate
before /plotcity ... def.
