soelim(1)                                               soelim(1)



     NAME
          soelim - eliminate .so's from nroff input

     SYNOPSIS
          soelim [file...]

     DESCRIPTION
          soelim reads the specified files or the standard input and
          performs the textual inclusion implied by the directives of
          the form

               .so somefile

          when they appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is
          useful since programs such as tbl do not normally do this;
          it allows the placement of individual tables in separate
          files to be run as a part of a large document.

          An argument consisting of a single minus (-) is taken to be
          a file name corresponding to the standard input.

          Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using ``''' instead
          of ``.'', i.e.

               'so /usr/lib/tmac.s

          A sample usage of soelim would be:

               soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -mm | col | lp

     FILES
          /usr/ucb/soelim

     SEE ALSO
          colcrt(1), more(1).  The format of the source commands must
          be consistent - exactly one blank must precede and no blanks
          follow the file name.
