No worries: people here are not forced to answer :-)

You bet. My first TeX was on an Atari ST ($DEITY knows when: Wikipedia
says between 1985 and 1993). LaTeX wasn't around. UTF-8 much less.
Heck, even Latin-1 wasn't quite there, German tended to cannibalize
several ASCII codes for its special characters (you had to decide
whether you wanted '{' or 'ä' or something). The "upper half" tended
to be some weird graphical chars.

Oh, yes, I do remember. Dimly, though.

OK.

Again, no worries.
