SOELIM(1)               GENIX Programmer's Manual               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 nroff 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.

           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 -ms | col | lpr

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