.SH NAME
soelim \- preprocess so inclusion commands in troff input 
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B soelim
[
.I files ...
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Soelim
reads the specified files or the standard input and performs
the textual inclusion implied by
.MR troff 1
directives of the form
.TP
.B "\&.so some_file
.PP
when they appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is useful when
using programs such as
.MR tbl 1
that do not normally do this, allowing
placement of individual tables or other text objects in separate files
to be run as a part of a large document.
