One way to deal with this is to use john's unique program. However, I have
had some running issues at times, due to how it has been put together on the
win32 builds, with the 'symlink' method, vs simply renaming a real exe file.
It works, but has some caveats. I simply did not put in the time to try to
work through all of them, and used the older standard "sort < input |
uniq > output" method Guess I was not aware of the issues also inherent
in doing this on arbitrary part binary data.
Guess there is always 1.04 :)
Jim.
