.SH NAME
soelim \- eliminate \&.so's from nroff input
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B soelim
[
file ...
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Soelim
reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual
inclusion implied by the
.I nroff
directives of the form
.PP
.DT
	\&.so somefile
.PP
when they appear at the beginning of input lines.
This is useful since programs such as
.I 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.
.PP
An argument consisting of a single minus
.RB ( \- )
is taken to be
a file name corresponding to the standard input.
.PP
Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using `\'' instead of `\.', i.e.
.PP
.DT
	\'so /usr/lib/tmac.s
.PP
A sample usage of
.I soelim
would be
.PP
	soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff \-ms | col | lpr

.SH BUGS
