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  indi-
          vidual  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
