About the only thing you can do to get PostScript into a DVI file is
include the Postscript in a LaTeX source file using the epsfig macros
or other add-ins (see The LaTeX Companion book by Goossens et al.). I
doubt that this actually *undoes* the PostScript. It almost certainly
just includes a description in the DVI file of how to include the
PostScript file.

Acrobat isn't free (and unless something's changed recently, it's
not available for Linux either, although it may be soon). There is
a free, but less featureful, program called ps2psf. It comes with
the ghostscript-5.50-1 RPM.
