Actually, no, it isn't. TeX was introduced (IIRC)
in the early eighties.
And Knuth sidetracked onto it because he didn't like the way his still-
essential books on computer science had been typeset. It's actually a
real shame he never got back to continuing that series.
But he has! Volumes 1 through 3 have been completely revised and set in
TeX. I purchased them a few months ago and did a quick compare with my
original set and there are lots of improvements/changes. There is also a
commitment in them to complete the set "shortly" and AFAIR volume 4 will be
out this year...
