If this command produces pdf, then there is an old-fashioned
instruction in the tex file that switches output to pdf. Try
latex -output-format=dvi example.tex
If that still produces pdf, then you must change the file. Report back
here, with the preamble of the file so we can help spot the problem.

It no longer exists: all non-plain tex uses pdftex these day (and have
done so for the past 4 years or so). The only tex that uses Knuth tex
is tex itself.
