do underlining

SYNTAX
ul [ -i ] [ -t terminal ] [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Ul reads the named files (or standard input if none are given)
and translates occurrences of underscores to the sequence which
indicates underlining for the terminal in use, as specified by
the environment variable TERM. Ul also translates overstruck
characters to bold, where appropriate. The -t option overrides
the terminal kind specified in the environment. Ul uses
information from the terminfo database to determine the
appropriate sequences for underlining and emboldening. If the
terminal is incapable of underlining, but is capable of a
standout mode then that is used instead. If the terminal can
overstrike, or handles underlining automatically, ul degenerates
to cat(1). If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is
ignored.
The -i option causes ul to indicate underlining onto by a
separate line containing appropriate dashes `-'; this is useful
when you want to look at the underlining which is present in an
nroff output stream on a crt-terminal.

EXAMPLES
$ ul file01
This command reads the file "file01" and translates occurances of
underscores to the sequence which indicates underlining for the
terminal in use. If the terminal does not support underlining,
ul displays the file just as cat would.

BUGS
For users of the Documenter's Toolkit software: nroff usually
outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed with the
text to indicate underlining. No attempt is made to optimize the
backward motion.
