I don't have explanation for this, I want only note that
if you have 89 points, it may be better to print them as sites.
If you create site file mysites:
-637698.75|2086607.42|#1
-324111.00|2109980.42|#4
-170238.75|2078816.42|#4
-581214.00|2156726.42|#3
and EPS files Roma1.eps, Roma3.eps, Roma4.eps you can print with ps.map:
sites mysites
  eps Roma$.eps
end
