Where's the "dumb" nroff terminal driver?

The nroff manual page (under the "-Tdevice" option) lists the "dumb"
device as one of the "other" supported devices. It's for "terminal
types with no special features", and is supposed to invoke col
automatically. But "nroff -Tdumb" just returns with "Non-existent
terminal type". There is no "dumb" file in /usr/lib/term where the
other drivers are kept either.
So what happened to the driver for "dumb" devices? I know I can just
pipe nroff into col, but I've always wondered why this didn't work.
Did SCO just forget to include it?
