Re: Discussion: ldapdelete.c

That's fine for you Unix guys but I live in the DOS/Windows

Besides, I would be inclined to create a batch/script file
to do this which means I have another utility to remember
how to use. Why not push this ability down to the ldapmodify
tool where it can automatically detect an LDIF file.
