dvidvi allows to impose pages next to each other, creating a larger page.
dvips then scales this larger page to fit to landscape or protrait US (or a4)
paper format. so for instance i can get 2 pages on one, or 4 pages on one.
just like what mpage does (-2 or -4 option) but dvidvi+dvips is better since
non-postscript fonts do not come out pretty when rescaled...
