That's exactly what I was missing!  The command

  dvidvi -m 2:0(-0.35in,-0.25in),1(4.65in,-0.25in) old.dvi new.dvi

works perfectly.  I simply reformatted the document using the
parameters given in twoup.sty, got rid of the 11pt documentstyle
I was using before, and ran dvidvi on the resulting .dvi file
spit out by OzTeX.  The only problem is that OzTeX doesn't
recognize any .dvi file other than its own, so I had to use
resEdit to modify the file type.  But that's a minor inconven-
ience I can certainly live with.

Thanks for your help!
