Some simple but very useful command line tools are included in the U-M
LDAP 3.3 release in the clients/tools subdirectory. They are called
ldapsearch, ldapadd, ldapmodify, etc. and let you perform most LDAP
operations from the command line. They are known to run on HP/UX and
probably can be ported to MS-DOS if you are adventuresome. The U-M LDAP
source distribution is available from here:
We (Netscape) also ship updated versions of these tools with our
Directory Server product. Look here for more information:

I think the ldapsearch tool will allow you to perform the multiple
branch search you desire. If the branches you are interested in share a
common parent, you can just do a subtree search and ask for the
attributes you want. If they don't share a common parent, you can feed
a sequence of several searches into ldapsearch to get what you want.
