Subject: dictionary s/w w/ wildcard

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-
