The manpage for soelim (and groff) says of the -I option: "specify a directory to search for files (both those on the command line and those named in .so requests). The current directory is always searched first."
Reality (with foo.ms in the current directory and in /usr/share/groff/site-tmac/): % soelim -I/usr/share/groff/site-tmac/ foo.ms bar.ms | grep '\.lf' .lf 1 /usr/share/groff/site-tmac/foo.ms .lf 1 ./bar.ms % soelim -I/usr/share/groff/site-tmac/ ./foo.ms bar.ms | grep '\.lf' .lf 1 /usr/share/groff/site-tmac/./msweb.ms .lf 1 ./bar.ms Is there a workaround I can use to force groff/soelim to read foo.ms in the current directory? -- Larry
