38.Sh NAME
39.Nm soelim
40.Nd eliminate \&.so's from nroff input
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Nm
43.Op Ar
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45.Nm Soelim
46reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual
47inclusion implied by the
48.Xr nroff 1
49directives of the form:
50.Pp
51.Dl \&.so somefile
52.Pp
53The directives need to appear at the beginning of input lines.
54This is useful since programs such as
55.Xr tbl 1
56do not normally do this; it allows the placement of individual tables
57in separate files to be run as a part of a large document.
58.Pp
59An argument consisting of a single minus
60.Ql Fl
61is taken to be
62a file name corresponding to the standard input.
63.Pp
64Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using
65.Ql \e'
66instead of
67.Ql \e. ,
68i.e.
69.Pp
70.Dl \'so /usr/lib/tmac.s
71.Pp
72A sample usage of
73.Nm
74would be
75.Pp
76.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
77soelim exum?.n \&| tbl \&| nroff \-ms \&| col \&| lpr
78.Ed
79.Sh SEE ALSO
80.Xr colcrt 1 ,
81.Xr more 1
82.Sh BUGS
83The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness \-
84exactly one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name.
85.Sh HISTORY
