I think in this scenario forward/backward search can only work between
TeX file and generated DVI file.  If `TeX-source-correlate-mode' is
active, then the DVI file will contain information for backward search
(by default using the source-specials method).

So it's probably only a matter of what your colleague's DVI viewer
supports.

Bye,
