It appears (to me) that the sources at labrea have an error in one of the
'#ifdef SHORTINT' cases. In addition, the docs say that the sources are ready
for Microsoft C 6.0. This is incorrect in my experience. 

I ported dvidvi to OS/2 and MSDOS from the labrea sources. You can retrieve
these from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/downloads/ (soon to be moved to 
pub/os2/all/emtex/ ?).  My README describes the problems.  I welcome comments,
bug-reports, and success-reports.

It should be noted that dvi2dvi was recently posted to simtel20.army.mil in
pd1:<msdos.tex>--it claims to be a faster dvidvi (MSDOS only).  

And while I'm here...I also ported dvips 5.49 to OS/2 & MSDOS using the recent
port from Sinha (his port is OS/2 2.0 only). dvips should appear soon in
the same place as dvidvi. You will need Sinha's port also, as mine contains
only the additional files needed (Sinha's port is in pub/os2/2.0/emtex/).
