NAME

6       soelim - eliminate .so's from nroff input
7

SYNOPSIS

9       soelim [ file ...  ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Soelim reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the
13       textual inclusion implied by the nroff directives of the form
14
15            .so somefile
16
17       when they appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is useful since
18       programs  such  as tbl do not normally do this; it allows the placement
19       of individual tables in separate files to be run as a part of  a  large
20       document.
21
22       An argument consisting of a single minus (-) is taken to be a file name
23       corresponding to the standard input.
24
25       Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using `´' instead of `.', i.e.
26
27            ´so /usr/share/tmac/tmac.s
28
29       A sample usage of soelim would be
30
31            soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr

BUGS

37       The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness - exactly
38       one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name.
