[net.sources] tbl preprocessor for expanding .so files

ral@pyuxqq.UUCP (R A Levenberg) (06/06/85)

This filter can be used to expand tables specified in files that
are dragged in by .so nroff commands.  It's needed in front of
pipelines like
	tbl ... | nroff ...
if the input contains lines like
	.so filename
when filename contains a table definition such as
	.TS
		...
	.TE
because nroff, and not tbl, expands the .so line to the contents
of the named file.  The program is actually very trivial, but the
concept is useful.  The following was built with shar.
#	This is a shell archive.
#	Remove everything above and including the cut line.
#	Then run the rest of the file through sh.
-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----
#!/bin/sh
# shar:	Shell Archiver
#	Run the following text with /bin/sh to create:
#	catso.1
#	catso.c

XX.TH CATSO 1 "LOCAL"
XX.SH NAME
XXcatso - Cats files, interpreting nroff-style file inclusion
XX.SH SYNOPSIS
XX\fBcatso\fR [ file or \fB-\fR ] ...
XX.SH DESCRIPTION
XX\fICatso\fR concatenates the files together, recursively inserting
XXfiles referenced by the nroff commands '.so' and '.nx' in their
XXproper positions.
XXWhen interpreting a '.so' command, the named file is itself \fIcatso\fRd
XXat that point, then processing resumes in the file that contained the '.so'
XXcommand.
XXFiles referenced by '.nx' are treated the same, except that processing
XXstops after the file referenced by the '.nx' command.
XX.P
XX\fICatso\fR is useful for providing input to an \fInroff\fR(1)
XXpreprocessor, such as \fInrpp\fR(1), since normally the files referenced by
XXthe .so and .nx commands will not be seen by the preprocessor.
XX.P
XXThe file name '-' means standard input.
XXStandard input will also be used if no arguments are given, unless
XXthe input is connected to the terminal.
XXIn the latter case, \fIcatso\fR will print its usage instructions.

XX.SH SEE ALSO
XXnroff(1), mm(1)
XX.SH DIAGNOSTICS
XX"Can't open [ .nx | .so ] file '<filename>'." -- the argument file, .so
XXfile, or .nx file can't be read or does not exist.
XX.SH BUGS
XXWill not interpret commands imbedded in macros or conditionals, or commands
XXfollowing a ';'.

  There's a program called "soelim" that does exactly that.
