This site has a very good list of the top software dictionaries that satisfy your needs. Here’s what they recommend.

Version 2 includes 100,000 words and 325,000 quotations, has an attractive and easy-to-use interface, and can be installed on your computer. (The previous version is half the price, but has a very basic interface and can only be run from the CD-ROM). Each entry includes pronunciation, etymology, historical uses, register, regionalities, and numerous examples, and everything is hypertexted. (French) 2) Le Petit Robert If you want the best dictionary without the Grand price tag, his Petit cousin is your best bet: 60,000 terms, 40,000 quotations, 12,000 sound files, and hypertext everything.
