11.SH SYNOPSIS
12.B soelim

16.SH DESCRIPTION
17.I Soelim
18reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual
19inclusion implied by the
20.I nroff
21directives of the form
22.PP
23.DT
24 \&.so somefile
25.PP
26when they appear at the beginning of input lines.
27This is useful since programs such as
28.I tbl
f0a4317e 29do not normally do this; it allows the placement of individual tables

30in separate files to be run as a part of a large document.

KM
32An argument consisting of a single minus
