It's not TeX of any sort. I don't know what it
is, but having used it a lot $

Good thought--I'd forgotten about LaTeX. The
file's from 1984, so
that might be a candidate.
I _think_ LaTeX didn't exist in 1984, though I also think TeX did.
As for it being TeX, well, except for the \ prefix it doesn't look much
like it. But TeX is sufficiently powerful that it could indeed be TeX
with a relatively elaborate macro package, though it strikes me as
unlikely. (Indeed, it would probably be possible to write a troff
emulation package for TeX - though it would be twisted enough I have
trouble imagining anyone bothering, possibly except for hack value.)
No, I don't really have any clue what it is.
