I need to parse some zipped manpage sources and some of them include .so requests, e.g.

.so /man1/bitmap.1

I was pointed to using soelim to resolve the .so request, but it just doesn't seem to work.

If I enter

soelim bmtoa.gz

it tells me /man1/bitmap.1 couldn't be found, which is correct, as there is only a zipped version of the file (bitmap.1.gz). But according to soelim's manpage, if the file wasn't found, it would search for zipped versions, which it doesn't. Any ideas?

My man page doesn't say anything about soelim supporting zipped versions at all. – Peter Eisentraut Jan 18 '10 at 11:35
Sry, meant zsoelim... but it doesn't work with unzipped versions either. – Trollhorn Jan 18 '10 at 11:41
