I just looked at the Fedora Core 4 source RPM. poxdvi has been replaced
by pxdvi. Anyway, poxdvi is a wrapper sh script for poxdvi.bin. The comments 
at the top of the script are:


  # This is the xdvi wrapper script for teTeX, version 0.2.
  # Copyright Thomas Esser, 1998. Permission to distribute under the terms
  # of the GNU general public license version 2 or later.

  # This script sets some environment variables to make sure that xdvi's
  # ressource file in $XDVIINPUTS/xdvi is read by xdvi.bin.
  # Special care was taken to make this work for old R3, too. Therefore,
  # we need to modify XAPPLRESDIR. If you are running R4 or later, you
  # can set XUSERFILESEARCHPATH for user specific application default
  # files. You cannot use XAPPLRESDIR for user specific application default
  # files.
