SOELIM(CT)               XENIX System V                SOELIM(CT)



     Name
          soelim - Eliminates .so's from nroff input.

     Syntax
          soelim [ file ...  ]

     Description
          soelim reads the specified files or the standard input and
          performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(CT)
          directives of the form

               .so somefile

          when they appear on an input line beginning with a dot (.).
          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 a single
          quotation mark (') instead of a dot (.), e.g.

               'so /usr/lib/tmac.s

     Example
          A sample usage of soelim would be

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

     Notes
          Exactly one blank must precede and no blanks may follow the
          filename.  Lines of the form

               .if t .so /usr/lib/macros.t

          mean that ``.so'' statements embedded in the text are
          expanded.
