  I take an eye tonight. In the obsolete/src subdirectory, you have to:

    1/ install art11.sty from
CTAN:obsolete/macros/latex209/distribs/latex209.tar.gz

or create an empty file art11.sty in this subdirectory (this will have only
an effect on the formatting.)

    2/ add the following lines in tvz-code.sty:

...
\newif\ifnestedmacro

% D.G. modification begin - Apr. 30, 2003
\newcount\macro at level
\macro at level=\z@
% D.G. modification end

\def\macro{%
...

    3/ compile the file pst-code.tex

  Of course, with strongly keeping in mind that this source code is from the
version 0.93a and out of date...
