Good luck. There is no command line client for Windows 3.1, and I'm not sure
we'll ever see one.

This is my second biggest requirement for the product: that both types of
clients (GUI and command line) be available for each and every client, and/or
both types of clients have equivalent function. A couple of cases to support
this:

1) The NetWare client has the command line only. At times I would like to be
   able to do a restore by subdirectory branch, but that is available only
   in the GUI client.

2) The Windows client has the GUI only. Several options unavailable to users
   include -IFNEWER, -FROMDATE, and -TODATE.

I'm not sure why the command line isn't available with each client. I would
think this would be fairly easy to implement, probably easier than the GUI.
