There is a program 'dviselect' on the Unix TeX tape that allows you to
select pages from a dvi file. It wouldn't be hard to make an option to
select only the even or the odd ones, in case you don't want to type in
alll the numbers.

My own dvi2ps program also has the option of only printing selected pages,
but then again, you have to specify them all (also easy to enhance).
