Lawrence,

AFAIK there's only a pdfetex binary on your system and latex is just a 
wrapper which calls pdfetex with dvi output. pdfetex can also produce 
dvi output is the \pdfoutput is set to 0. On my system calling latex 
leads to a dvi file. Maybe there's something wrong with your system. 
Until you figured out what's wrong a constrcus like this should help you 
out:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
\pdfoutput=0
\fi

\begin{document}
Test 1234
\end{document}
