You misunderstood my question about dvipdfm.
I don't like .dvi and .pdf. These are binary formats. Source counts.
It probably doesn't depend on dvipdfm whether one can do
latex book.tex
and
pdflatex book.tex
to optain .dvi and .pdf at the same time.
I had an effort (still unfinished in my 'fricas-book' branch) to revive
the AXIOM book.
http://www.hemmecke.de/fricas/book.pdf
My .sty file
https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/blob/fricas-book/src/doc/fricas.sty
doesn't use dvipdfm, although (because of eps figures) the translation
also goes .tex -> .dvi -> .pdf and not straight to .pdf.
I am simply not sure whether Tim needs dvipdfm at all and wanted to give
him a hint to try without it.
