soelim(1)          UNIX System V(BSD Compatibility Package)           soelim(1)


NAME
      soelim - resolve and eliminate .so requests from nroff or troff input

SYNOPSIS
      /usr/ucb/soelim [ filename . . . ]

DESCRIPTION
      The soelim command reads the specified files or the standard input and
      performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1) directives of the
      form

            .so somefile

      when they appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is useful since
      programs such as tbl(1) 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 `-' is taken to be a file name corresponding to
      the standard input.

      Note: inclusion can be suppressed by using `'' instead of `.', that is,

            ' so /usr/ucblib/doctools/tmac/tmac.s

EXAMPLE
      A sample usage of soelim would be

            soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr
