- i've been looking for any software package (unix, dos, mac) that i could
- use simple wildcard operators against our english dictionary, or even
- less than that would be sufficient, ex: against a voluminous list of
- english words (definitions, synonyms, etc. not necessary) give me all
- words which have a double 'o'. pseudocommand might be: FIND *oo* or
- this one for example: FIND (all words which meet this criteria) *sh%t*
- where '*' is a wildcard depicting one or more letters & '%' one letter.
- i think u get the idea. any help? -JR-
