You mean, PDFTeX does not exist, almost _everything_ PDF-related does
not exist, listings.sty does not exist, all the various presentation
classes do not exist, ConTeXt does not exist, LaTeX never got around

not exist, source specials don't exist, KOMA-Script and memoir don't
exist and so forth and so on?
