- I'm not sure if this will suffice, but I have an alias called
- 'spell' which simply does 'grep !* /usr/dict/words' (I don't use the
- spell subsystem, so I get away with this alias. You can then do any
- regular expression search:
-
- spell oo /* find all words having oo
- spell "^req" /* find all words begining with "req"
-
- etc...
-
- Hope that's good enough!
