I have finally decided to try this way  because  the
included  file  is  subject  to frequent changes and
storing its pre-encoded version, as per Werner's ad-
vice,  would  be  inconvenient.   Now  I  found that
groff's -s option behaves differently  from  calling
soelim manually on the pipeline:

  mmst1:                   tr -d \015 < [infile]| groff -s -Kcp1251 -t 
-Tutf8>[outfile].txt
  mmst2: soelim [infile] | tr -d \015           | groff    -Kcp1251 -t 
-Tutf8>[outfile].txt

With the included test file (test.mm) the first call
seems to ignore iconv processing  (res1.txt),  while
the  second  one works as expected, producing a cor-
rectly encoded UTF-8 file (res2.txt).

Am I missing something or is it a bug?
