Problem with dvidvi2

 Hello all!  Has anyone using Unix compiled dvidvi2 to work properly?
 dvidvi is a program that assists in printing out odd or even pages, or 2
 sheets to a page, and other neat stuff.
     I have compiled it with the gnu C version 2.2, but the compiler may be
 buggy.  Specifically, has anyone gotten it to accept the following command
 line parameters?
    #> dvidvi 2:0,1(5.5in,0in) input.dvi output.dvi
       this gives a "syntax error near '2:0,1(5'"  error message.

     #> dvidvi 2:0 input.dvi output.dvi works fine
 and #> dvidvi 2:1 input.dvi output.dvi also works fine, so printing on both
 sides is no problem. The only problem is with 2 pages to a page (or more).
   Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
   Please just drop me a quick e-mail if this has been raised recently.
   Thank you in advance  ... Michael Caro <acps7221@ryevm.ryerson.ca>
