      NAME
           soelim - eliminate .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
           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.

           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).

      BUGS
           The format of the source commands is stringent, exactly one
           blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name.
