UNEEK101.ZIP  B   14900  910614  Eliminate duplicate records in text files, w/C

This program is very fast.  It assumes that the input file has been
sorted (I use Vernon Buerg's SORTF).  The input file is renamed to
filename.BAK and the new file has the name of the original.

UNEEK is *much* faster than any version of "uniq" that I've tried.
