SOELIM(1-BSD)       RISC/os Reference Manual        SOELIM(1-BSD)



NAME
     soelim - eliminate .so's from nroff or troff input

SYNOPSIS
     soelim [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     soelim reads the specified files or the standard input and
     performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1) or
     troff(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 a single minus (-) is taken to be
     a file name corresponding to the standard input.

     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

SEE ALSO
     colcrt(1), more(1).

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