   Does there exist a public domain regular expressions parser
   for the Macintosh?  I'm looking for something which will
   allow me to search for all occurances of M*S*I and turn up
   MISSISSIPPI, MISSOURI, and so on.

Just a nit, but the pattern you show will match neither of the results
listed. The pattern you want is M.*S.*I.

Gnu grep is available for MPW, and the regexp part of it is easily
transplanted.
