10     SSooeelliimm reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the
11     textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1) directives of the form:
12
13           .so somefile
14
15     The directives need to appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is
16     useful since programs such as tbl(1) do not normally do this; it allows
17     the placement of individual tables in separate files to be run as a part
18     of a large document.
19
20     An argument consisting of a single minus `--' is taken to be a file name
21     corresponding to the standard input.
22
23     Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using `\'' instead of `\.', i.e.
24
25           'so /usr/lib/tmac.s
26
27     A sample usage of ssooeelliimm would be
28
29           soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr

35     The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness - exactly
36     one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name.
